Nick Stones '16 Recruiting Profile

Over the past two seasons I started both ways in every game. I love being on the football field and working hard throughout the entire year in preparation for the season. My passion is to learn and get better each day and each play. This past season I learned an incredible amount from a great coaching staff. My desire is to continue on with my work ethic and ready myself to play college football with a goal of helping bring a championship to the team I play for. While playing football I will also dedicate myself to pursuing a degree. After getting my bachlors degree I desire to go on and get a masters degree as well to assist me in my chosen field of study. At some point in the future I would hope that I will be able to coach youth football. 2012 honors and awards: Team captain Most valuable player 1st team all-region 2012 statistics: 1) Sacks = 11 2) Tackles = 69 (24 for a loss) 3) Forced fumbles = 6 (plus 2 recovered fumbles) 4) Touchdowns = 1 Coach Joel Higginson (SHHS head coach, played for Snow College and Utah State): “Nick has the best work ethic of any player I have ever coached.
