Syrael Breckenridge '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Syrael Breckenridge and I'm Charlottesville, Va.  I was raised in a single-parent home along with my brother so sports was always something that I did to keep out of trouble.  Since I was young I fell in love with the game of football and now that's all that I know.  I don't plan on stopping what I'm doing either, my determination and desire for the game is the reason why I'm sticking with it.  There aren't too many opportunities to make it out of the circumstances that I come from so when i finally have a chance to then I'm taking it without any hesitation.  Not only I have the love for the game but I have the hunger too.  I'm willing to do what it takes to play at the next level.  Although football means a lot to me, school always come first.  I try to make sure that I'm a strong student in the classroom and I have spent plenty of hours staying after school to put in the extra work.  I'm not a stranger to hard work at all.  I personally believe that the perfect balance between being a strong student in the classroom and being an athlete on the field is the key to success.  Hard work pays off, now I'm just waiting on the reward.
