Austin Pope '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Austin Pope.  I am a junior, class of 2016.  I have a 3.0 GPA.  My grades are decent but I definitely have room for improvement.  I plan to improve my study habits, GPA and do well on the ACT, so that I will be better prepared for college.  

I am a highly competitive, coachable athlete with a nose for the football and a high football IQ.  While growing up I played on competitive travel teams for baseball, basketball and football.  I am currently a two-sport athlete and while I love basketball, my passion runs deep to play D1 football. I am  6'4" 1/2 220 lbs., with quick feet and good hands.  I am a very physical player on both sides of the ball with good speed.  I play WR, OLB and can block.  Projected to be a hybrid TE at the next level.  I am always looking to improve my game.  I train with Devin Driscoll at Next Level and I am working hard to improve my speed, strength and skills on the field to better prepare me for my junior high school season and collegiate play.  I plan to attend college camps this summer to improve my knowledge of the game and pick up any skills that will make me a better player and give me an edge over my opponent.

I am the youngest of 4 children.  I have an older sister that will graduate from the University of Alabama, Summa Cum Laude and two older brothers.  I have a great family support system and church family.  I am a volunteer for Operation Snowflake and Lost Sheep Ministries.

Through competitive sports I have had the opportunity to visit different areas of the country and form some great relationships.  I would love the chance to continue my education in a place I love, whether it be in my home state or across the country.  I am looking for a college that would be a good fit, where I can make an impact.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
