Josh Herring '16 Recruiting Profile

December 2014
August 2014
July 2015Personal Statement
My collegiate goals and aspirations include my academics as well as my sports related success. I truly believe in the word, "Student-Athlete" and I know success means achieving at a high level in both areas. I care about my academics and I know that they are much more important than any game or activity. That does not take away my love for the game of baseball. I am a leader on the baseball diamond and I always work hard to bring out the best in my team. I will never let a teammate down and I am always trying to encourage them. I am an intelligent man who knows how to play the game correctly, and I use my abilities of speed, hitting, and great fielding to play the game as best I can.
My goal is to have a successful college career with an outstanding achievement in earning my degree and also to be the most positive, influential, and best teammate I can possibly be. I believe my consistent leadership and skills can help a collegiate baseball program be successful. I may be different than other recruits as I bring the combination of a "never quit attitude", in both academics and baseball. Thanks for the opportunity to share a little bit about my goals and aspirations.
