Personal Statement
I love the game of football! As the son of a former Division I football player now military officer (Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran also Bronze Star Recipient), I have learned the value of sacrifice, hard work, and teamwork. Football means more to me than playing a sport. I have learned many valuable lessons from playing including putting the needs of the team first. My goal is to play for a major Division I college program like my Dad did for Vanderbilt University. I prefer to attend a school that emphasizes exceptional academic excellence and is competitive athletically. Being around my father who played in the SEC and my older brother who played in the NFL then CFL, has taught me to approach football with a champion mindset. I realize that preparation, determination, and a strong will to succeed are the foundation for academic and athletic success. I look forward to the challenge to join your team and even more so excited about us winning championships together!
