Karai Burley '22 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations on a collegiate level include; giving my all when it comes to academics even when there might be adversity and being the best player on and off the field. I make a good candidate for the team because of my true passion for football. Ever since I was born, a football is what I felt most connected  to; it's what feels like home. Due to that passion, it means I am constantly trying to improve my skills; by watching film on my own, practicing and training everyday, and working on treating my body right. I stand out from other recruits in character because of my deameanor on and off the field. I believe if you hold yourself to a higher set of standards it will show that no matter what the opposing team does; I will always rise to the occasion. When it comes to athletics; determination, resilience, and coachable are in my vocabulary.  I show these traits every single practice or game by accelerating through hardships and making sure that I am doing everything I can to aid my team to victory. Academically I am above other recruits because of my persistent learning. I may not understand a concept all the time; but this does not stop me from achieving excellence. I utilize my afterschool hours and weekends to visit with tutors and family members to guide me in the right direction if I am not feeling confident in a subject.
