Personal Statement
I am a 16 year old Sophomore Offensive Tackle and football is a big part of my family. My grandfather (Gene Little) played for Rice University and was drafted by the New York Giants, his brother (Jack Little) was a two time All American at Texas A&M and played for the Baltimore Colts, my dad played baseball in college at Texas Tech so I have been around sports my entire life. I played running back and linebacker until the 8th grade when I was moved to offensive and defensive tackle because of my size. I was an All Star in baseball, basketball,lacrosse and was MVP in football in 8th grade. I was selected to play on a Houston All Star football team the summer of 2012 as a defensive tackle. Academics is very important to me and I was elected President of the National Junior Honor Society for my Junior High class and have made the Honor Roll every semester of my High School career. I started at left tackle on the varsity HS football team my freshman year as a 14 year old. I played varsity basketball and I compete in track & field. I played JV Lacrosse as an attack my freshman year and Varsity Basketball as a sophomore.I was selected as Sophomores to Watch in 2014 Blue Chip Recruiting Roundup by Randy Rogers recruiting service. I was asked to compete against junior and senior HS recruits this summer in a Friday Night Lights camp at the University of Texas. My HS football team just won the 2014 State Championship and I was named first team All Conference.In March 2015, I was chosen as a Rivals 100 Top prospect class of 2017. I feel I am very coachable, good teammate, have a hard work ethic both on the football field and in the classroom and would like to play for a school that values both academics and athletics. I volunteer at the Houston Food Bank and enjoy working with handicapped children in helping them achieve their own personal goals.
