William Thomas '17 Recruiting Profile

    Since 8th grade I was determined to go to college and be the first one in my family to attend a college campus. School is my main priority when I am out of the house and in classes, I tend to take classwork serious and push my self to reach high grades to make my family proud. Beginning of my freshman year at Robert M. Shoemaker I understood the true meaning of being a student-athlete after being on the bench for an entire football game, my grades were not good as they were in the first nine-weeks. My dad also gave me the right paths on becoming a firm believer in Jesus Christ, I pray for honoring, worshiping, coverage, but I mainly thank God for all that he has brought me through. I intend on going to college, being on campus and playing football but most importantly getting picked from a college for acedemics instead of just sports, because you could always have a great football player, but that athlete might not be as bright in class. If possible, it would be a blessing of being signed into a college that has a Degree in Architect Design. In my eyes I dont like to show off about how talented I am in football because I was not tought that, I was tought to listen to the coach, give him respect, and execute the play on the football field. I work as hard as I can even under pain I continue to work, because I can do all things through christ who strengthens me.
