JaCoby Wilson '20 Recruiting Profile

Througout my life there have many things that influenced me ,but mainly it was being raised to always to say yes ma'am, and no ma'am; or yes sir and no sir. The way this influenced me was to always give your elders respect, and always giving the amount respect they truly deserved this really helped me in the classroom. Ive always been more mature than other classmates, I was hyper but I always knew when to be. But as I was growing up in Alabama it was all about Alabama and Auburn, so I grew up watching the greats, and I just wanted to do what they did .And then I got in to football around the age of 4 and it all went up from there. But as I was playing the sport I really discovered my passion and trying my hardest in practice to lay  the biggest hit on the biggest guy on the team so I could stand out more than others. But before football comes academics; my goal is to always to be above a 3.4 GPA for the rest of my high school years, because this year I ended with a 2.8 GPA which is not good in my prospective. And also I want to become a golden scholar meaning I pass both semesters with all A's and one B, I want to strive for this because I want to go to the best programs for mechanical engeneering. But over the past few years of my football career I've had to get past some obstacles like me my brothers and my parents had to leave our home in Alabama because or things had been repossessed, But despite the struggles this made me try harder as a football player. Then we moved to Arizona in 2014 I missed a year of football, but when I came back to play for the renegades in Gilbert,AZ I got 15 sacks and 3 interceptions playing as a line backer. But once I made it to high school I was picked on for not making it to the summer camp, but I still managed to get a starting spot in the span of one week. Then at the end of the year I received defensive player of the year throughout the year I got 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 13 tackles for loss, 4 blocks, and 1 interception. But learning from my parents I have great people skills, I have the ability to talk to complete strangers sometimes. My coaches talk about my work ethic all the time they say that I stand out from other D-linemen ,with this my coaches have higher expiations for me. With that I also found that I've good listening skills, because when my coaches tell me to use my hands more I listen very well.
