Personal Statement
Hello,
My name is Cole Thomas. I am currently a sophomore at Bishop Blanchet High School in Seattle, Washington. Playing college football has been a dream and goal of mine ever since I was young. I was first introduced to football when I was 2. My dad was downstairs watching Monday Night Football, and when my mom sent me down to say goodnight to him, I stopped in my tracks and turned to face the TV where my eyes were glued to the screen. With my 2 year old vocabulary, I said "Dada, what that?" as I pointed at the screen. He explained the concept of football to me, and I was able to stay up late that night to finish watching the game. Ever since that night, I have been in love with football and as I have gotten older and have been introduced to the recruiting process, football has become a motivator for me. I strive for excellence in the classroom to get good grades and have stellar attendance so college coaches can recognize my work ethic on and off the field. I do extra reps in my workouts and make healthy eating choices to keep my body in top physical condition to preform at my best possible level on game day. Football has been and will continue to be my motivator, my goal, and my love. I hope you will have the chance to evaluate me, and I guarantee, if you do me the honor of recruiting me, you will see how I strive to outwork everyone to be the best student, friend, son, brother, and teammate I can be.
