Bruce Mesa Jr '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Bruce Mesa Jr. To be successful requires two things, passion and commitment to excellence to achieves one's goals and aspirations. There is nothing I have more passion or commitment for, than to be the best possible student athlete that I can be. I go to school at Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha, WI, a school known for its high level of academic performance, and for the success that the students there achieve. Catholic Memorial competes in the Wisconsin Classic Eight Conference, a conference considered by most to be the best and most competitive football conference in the state of Wisconsin. My goal for high school is to graduate high school with a 3.5 GPA and to play football at the collegiate level. I have had the passion and commitment to these goals since I started playing football in seventh and eighth grade, where in eighth grade my team, Team Wisconsin, won a youth football national championship.

My freshman year I became the starting left guard on varsity after being a backup for the first few games, and helped my team to a regional state victory in the Wisconsin Division III state tournament. Sophomore year I was the starting varsity left guard again where my team finished as a conference co champion, and we were once again regional champions. This past year as a junior, I was named to the Classic Eight all-conference and Waukesha all-city team, and helped lead my team to the Wisconsin Division III state championship game, where we finished state champion runner-ups. As a senior, I am committed to leading my team back to the state championship and to winning.

As a teammate, I fully understand what it means to be committed to and part of a team, as a team is a band of brothers who work together to achieve. I am passionate enough that I will work hard to be the best possible player, and teammate on and off the field in high school, and in college. In the off-season I throw shot put and discus in the spring, and participate in strength and agility training five days a week. Football is my passion, and I am committed to being the possible student, and athlete that I can at the high school, and collegiate level.
