Michael Buetow '17 Recruiting Profile

What separates me from other recruits is my confidence. One thing I live by is you have to think your the best to be the best, and I live by that in everything I do.  For instance, during a game, a camp, a practice my mindset is that I'm the best player competing, and no one is going to stop me.  To be totally honest about my grades, I slacked off my freshmen and sophomore years of high school, but as a junior I've received a cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 throughout the year. I've proved that I can succeed at the next level, but I need to keep putting forth an excellent effort. One main reason why my grades were so poor going into my Junior year was that I didn't know if I could play at the next level, but after a great performance at the North Dakota State university football camp, I knew I could compete at a high level.  That's why I've been working hard in the classroom to achieve what I want to do.
