Personal Statement

It is an honor to get the chance to represent an Institution and the Alumni on and off the field. I know this will be an expense to the University which I must return to them through my character, integrity, hard work and positive representation. I am determined to make my dream to play at the next level come true and to prove to that University their commitment in me was well worth it.

Although being an outstanding Football Player is important to me it comes second behind my Academics. I know my days on the field will always be numbered and Academics will be the foundation of my future. My goal is to leave High School with a 3.9 or better and finish in the top 10% in my class. I have been inducted into the National Beta Society which I am very proud of. My Academic honors are as import to me as my Athletic. My interest currently is around a Medical Career, Sports Management, Business or possibly even Coaching. Over the next 2 years I will continue to focus those area’s of interest and also align those with the best fit for my higher education.
