Personal Statement
Hi, I am John Sheperdson, currently a Senior at San Ramon Valley High School in Danville, California. I am 6'3, weigh 235 pounds and expect continued growth. I am a very hard worker and am considered a team leader by my peers and coaches. I play defensive end, offensive tackle, and I am also a long snapper. For my junior season, I played on the varsity team and started for every game as defensive end. I earned the award of All League Honorable Mention as a defensive end. Additionally, I substituted in at offensive tackle for many of the games, and received additional play time there.
In January of this year at a National Competition Event in Las Vegas, I was ranked as the #12 best long snapper for the class of 2011 by Chris Rubio from Chris Sailer Kicking. Following this, I was invited to the Top 12 Elite camp, which is invitation only.
At this point I am open to schools across the nation (this being a result of having lived all over the United States along with having family located in several different states). I have not decided on my major yet, I look forward to studying different interests. I am very excited to play football in college and know I will contribute to the team through my athleticism, leadership and camaraderie.
