2012 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Hi, thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Ben Cross and I attend the Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia. Simply put, I love and appreciate this game so much. I have been dreaming about playing college football ever since I was a little kid. I work hard at everything I do in my life, I pay attention to the details and never leave anything unaccounted for. I take pride in being relentless and never taking a play off. I take pride in my grades, and have earned a 3.67 GPA thus far in my high school career while attending an academically renowned college prep school. I started and played nearly all defensive snaps on our varsity team as a Sophomore. As a junior, I started on offense (TE), defense (DE), and every special teams unit. I am willing to travel practically anywhere to play for any school that gives me the chance to realize my dream. I currently play Defensive End/Outside Linebacker and Tight End. However, I believe I have the versatility to play several other positions as well.
