Patrick Sledge '17 Recruiting Profile

    I never thought I would play football again. After my first year playing when I was six, it took me ten years to make up my mind to step on the field and play again.  Once I stepped back on the field, I just knew right then that I wanted to be the best player and teammate out there for my school.  My first year playing high school football, I made second team all-state.

     As far as school, education is most important to me.  If I am able to play at the college level, school would be my main focus.  I want to be able to graduate and become successful. 

    I'm willing to put in the extra work to do whatever it takes to help the team be successful.  I am very coachable, because I know that it will help me develop as a player and as a student.

    I also love to play baseball and I'm a thrower for our track and field team.  My personality is what I feel sets me apart from everyone else.  I get along with mostly everyone and I know how to have a good time but, also when it's time to be serious in the classroom and on the field.

    As far as colleges go, I am very open to my choices.  Being able to have the chance to further my education, while playing football would be a great opportunity for me.  I'd appreciate any college that would bless me with that opportunity.
