Duane Bogne '21 Recruiting Profile

I grew up in France and unfortunately, football is not a thing over there. Therefore, my first time playing football was a year ago, when I moved to the US. I have always had very high interest in this sport and played Rugby which I saw as an alternative to football. When my first football season started I did not know anything about the sport but my goal always was to become the best player on the team because I love the competition, so I always gave my 100% on and off the field in order to improve. Playing college football became a goal of mine as soon as I learned about it and this goal just kept me working harder and harder. It rapidly felt like I was being delusional but one of my coach told once that he believed in me which is why I am still grinding to this day, trying to accomplish a dream that seems foolish to most people. I believe that I have talent that not many possess and a rugby background which is what makes me a unique player.
