Kanaan Nelson '16 Recruiting Profile

As i continue on through high school, i want to become an athlete who knows his game and knows his grades. Football is my life, and I'd do anything to keep playing it, even through college! My future goals are to become a football player with a great mind set to achieve anything i want to be in life. I also really want to become an Electronic Engineer. What makes me different from other recruits is that i do a lot of volunteer work through my church and wherever else I'm needed. i also love working with children and taking care of them. Everywhere i go, people always comment on how i have a great personality and how i do things according to god. I'm not easy influenced by peer-pressure and i lead others to be successful. My grades are great and I've never failed any grade or class. I've been playing football since elementary school and its been my dedication to become the best i can be at it! I love the sport of football and its what i love to put time into, besides my grades!  I've mad bad decisions throughout this year, but I've learned from each mistake and why its important to do right and not listen to what others tell me to do! I also want to change the way American football is viewed by African Americans. I want to be a leader and change the image of African Americans and the way they've made a bad name for themselves through their career. I want to step up and be that person that everyone wants to be.
