Adrian Ayala '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Adrian Ayala. Since I was six years old, I had discovered my passion for football when my parents gave me the opportunity to play for my local community. I continued to play football throughout my youth as well as keeping up with the sport such as watching the NFL. Playing football helped me break out of my shell at a young age, become a team player and strive to reach goals I have set for myself. It has been a dream of mine to one day have a career in the NFL. As a child, I would watch the games in hopes that one day I could be apart of the league. As I got older, High school football has become a big part of me. It has continued to bring out another side of me and has made me realize that football was not just a hobby or a sport, but a passion. I have worked hard to maintain a 3.0 GPA level in order to continue playing for my school and help me reach my next goal, which is playing college football. I take any position I play seriously and work to the best of my abilities. In my mind, there is no off-season. I take it as an opportunity to prepare myself both physically and mentally for the next season. Although my team had a rough season, I do not let it discourage me from moving forward. I take any obstacle thrown in my direction as an opportunity to learn and improve and have continued to work out, study the game, and most importantly I will not give up on my team because they are family to me. Every time I step foot on that field no matter where I'm playing I say to myself start strong, stay strong, and finish stronger.
