JJ Meier '16 Recruiting Profile

Being a student-athlete in the city I was born and raised has taught me countless lessons.  I have maintained a 3.21 GPA at the most pristine public academic school in our district (2,200 students) and am a part of the all-league San Diego county, union tribune student-athlete academic team.  Outside of football, I have been serving my community since I can remember, currently I am in my school program known as link crew, which helps develop freshman into our high school and gives exposure to numerous community service projects. This has taught me the importance of respecting others and building skills of leadership while working effectively with others and to see everything in my life with a positive outlook. Football has been and always will be my passion, however I have tried to the best of my abilities to distinguish myself from others in my community, along with varsity basketball and a bit of varsity volleyball, I also participated in choir and I am enrolled to be senior class vice president for my schools student government council.  These activities have taught motivation and perseverance, and will become memories I will cherish about high school.  Coming from a Christian based household and being the only male in the house has shaped me to become a humble man and step into a role of maturity, self reliance and moral values. Though both of my parents were not able attend college but instead went straight to the workforce, I strive to gain a college education through football and focus on a major related to business. Football has inspired me to do something superb in my life and I am passionate, dedicated and committed to bringing my talents and work ethic to a program that fits me.
