Zachery Burton '15 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was 8 years old (2nd Grade), I've always wanted to play sports, and not only play at a Division 1 college, but in the pros as well. Growing up watching my siblings play sports and listening to stories about my parents' and other relatives' athletic careers, inspired me not only to play, but to be successful at them too. Although I play 3 sports (football, basketball, and track), I've chosen to focus primarily on football. Academically, my goals are to continue making good grades in school, challenging myself to be the best I can in the classroom, and maintaining a rigorous curriculum. My core classes have always been advanced or Pre-AP, and the past 2 years I've been in straight AP classes, and hopefully Honors classes in the near future. Athletically, I plan on getting bigger, faster, stronger, and sharpening my skills so that I not only become a better recruit, but a better overall athlete. Locally, I want to be considered for honors as All-Conference and All-State, eventually leading to signing with a well-known university. My goals in college are to pursue a career as a sports commentator and get my education, but not leave out the golden opportunity to excel at a college sport, maybe even getting to play in the pros.
