Personal Statement
I started playing organized football when I was 9 years old. I love the sport and have spent a great deal of time and effort improving my skills. I enjoy practice, and take that time very seriously. I understand the game, and have been told frequently that I have a high football IQ.
Over the last two seasons, I started on offense and defense and rarely came off the field. I was even on the kickoff and kickoff return teams. Last season, as a junior, I was my team’s second leading rusher and second leading tackler. I was given Honorable Mention All City/County at the end of the season.
I go to a highly academic private school. I work hard in the classroom and have steadily improved my grades throughout high school. I am an active member of my church and its youth group, volunteering my time through various community service projects and missions trips.
Attending college has always been a part of my plan. It has always been a dream of mine to play a sport I love, while attaining a degree. Just like I will be pushed academically, I look forward to being pushed athletically while attending college.
