Jacob Morehead '18 Recruiting Profile

Football, family, friends, school, and most importantly, God, have been the top priorities in life as long as I have had them.  I was raised into being respectful and humble.  I work hard in school and make good grades.  I am adaptable and am not locked down to one position.  My dreams of trotting out onto a college football field, with the all familiar blood rush, supercharged by the game I have come to love so much are endless.  Although, dreaming has never been satisfying enough for me.  While others dream, I work to make mine a reality.

Every day of my life, I am trying to find a different way to better myself.  I never drag myself out to the practice field or to the weight room.  I walk out there with a jump in my step ready to pursue greatness.  All the hard work, every drop of sweat, every groan, every wobbly last rep, every challenge, every obstacle, every workout, every hit, and every step taken onto that field, I have come to love.  I believe these and more are the components to success.

While others sleep, I work hard in silence.  A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory.  I will do whatever it takes and some to make it.  After school I walk outside and search for different ways to better myself and also my teammates whether it be in schooling or athletics. I refuse to be outworked. My goal every day is to be better than i was yesterday, bigger, faster, stronger, a better athlete, and a better Christian.  I will never question a coach's call and I will run 110% on every play with or without the football.  In the end, when i step off the field and the lights shut off, I want to look back on the road to greatness and embrace it.  I want nothing more than to make it, and I will do anything it takes to do so.
