Alex Wise '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal for my future in football is to go far as possible while working in parallel in the classroom to see how far I can go. I'm not the top elite player out there but I will push myself to be the best that I can be. If needed, I would switch to whatever position the coaches believe that would best benefit the team.

I grow up in a Christian home. My character reflects on how I am taught through my beliefs. I learned that I need to keep my Faith, Fear/Love God and stay the course to be able to do anything in life.

Academically, in 7th grade, my father told me to continue playing football I would have to make straight A's, else, I am off the field back to the classroom to raise it back up. Ever since that I've realized how competitive it is to get into college so I strive to make the best possible grade I can in each subject; as such, I kept my GPA above 4.23 yearly and been awarded the U.S. President's Academic Excellence Award, Member of National Society of High School Scholars, and Member of National Honor Society.  I appreciate how my father was direct in ensuring I would strive to be the best in both areas.

I decided to pursue the AP route so I can continue challenging myself. I’ve been taking college classes to get college credit so I can understand how college is, as well as being invited to University-level internships.  My objective is to be fully prepared for college once I graduate from High School.

I now graduated from High School and accepted to attend United States Air Force Academy where I am pursuing a Major in Electrical Engineering and Minor in Russian Language.  I've completed my first year and on the Honor Roll.
