John LaCognata '21 Recruiting Profile

It is my goal to play college football at a division one level. I have played organized football since I was in Kindergarten.  I played Pop Warner football in Wilmington, North Carolina for five years. I then played middle school football at Roland-Grise MS, where we won back to back undefeated conference championships. After eighth grade I moved to  Vermillion, South Dakota where I completed my first year playing on the Vermillion High School football team. I was the only freshman to dress for the varsity team where I started on special teams.  I also played on the JV team where I was the only freshman to start, I started running back and linebacker. I am currently training with Caleb Heim who is a football strength and conditioning coach. Prior to that, I trained with Chris Virta who is the owner of Storm Strength & Fitness. For the next three years I will continue to train and  develop my skills so I can get recruited by college coaches to play football at the next level.
