Personal Statement

To me, football is like the game of life. It has shown me how to be a leader, how to work with a team, discipline, focus, how to lose and how to win. I love playing football and it is an opportunity for me to get the best education possible. I see myself playing for a Division 1A school doing what I love and earning a degree for my career. I am a leader on the field and in the classroom. I work just as hard in the classroom as I do on the field. I am hard working, coach-able, determined and dedicated to achieve my dreams.
