My name is Gabriel Barrera and growing up I have seen the benefits in playing football. Being on a team, has helped me hold myself accountable for my behavior and academics. Just like myself, I try to motivate my team members and try to keep the group on track. When I am given the opportunity, I enjoy showing my abilities on the field. In football, I have played kicker, left and right defensive tackle, left and right offensive tackle, nose guard, guard, defensive end, and center. Knowing all these positions makes me available and gives me the opportunity to play whenever needed. Seeing my team members succeed is what I feed off of while playing the game.
