Personal Statement
Hi my name is Jacob Dean and I am a center/ defensive tackle from Whitesburg Christian Academy in Huntsville. I am a 2023 and have just completed my senior season. This was my 10th year to play football. As a Senior, I was a Captain this year on my team and was a starter on both offense and defense for every game this season. I am the Center on Offense and play Defensive Tackle/End on defense. As Center I have not had a bad snap now in over 16 games (over two seasons). Some of our biggest offensive running plays happened right up the middle in the hole created by me. I spent most of my summer prior to my senior year attending camps and lifting all summer to get better and stronger. Our team finished 5-5 this season. We are a small 2A school playing some very tough teams in our Region such as Fyffe and Pisgah High School. I was honored this year to be selected as a team Captain. I also received the Overall Best Lineman Award for my team. The biggest honor I received was the Walter Jones Best to Ever Do It Lineman of the Week Award. This is an award given in the Huntsville Alabama Metro area (includes all Madison, Morgan, Limestone and Jackson County teams) and includes schools from the 1A to the 7A level. Only 10 lineman are selected during the season and I was one of those 10. I love the game of football and want to continue to play the game I love. I hope to find a university or college that I not only can succeed as a player but also to receive a great education and have a great college experience as well. I have had many coaches tell me I have the ability. I know that I have the work ethic and drive to play at this level. I am a strong academic candidate as well. I have a 3.65 GPA and have a 22 on my ACT. I am a hard worker. I have a strong work ethic and I know that I will be strong addition to any team and will contribute to any program that I am a part of.
