Damian Sarmiento '20 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations.--    

My strongly envisioned aspiration is not just to make it to the NFL or either become a Sports Medicine Physician.  I'm in love with the game of football and my passion grows every day for it. Coming from a rough neighborhood, it becomes a motive to make it somewhere big like the NFL where I would be able to move my parents out to a neighborhood where they wouldn't have to worry about my little sister's safety.  Most importantly I plan to grow mentally and physically throughout my collegiate football years. I have a desire to learn more about the human body and help people, but my passion for sports guided me to wanting to be a Sports Medicine Physician. I am interested in a very competitive school, educationally and athletically that will challenge me to my peak. I love being and competing in a competitive environment; I hope to compete at a school like that.

What makes you a good candidate for their team?--

I am a dynamic player just as how I am a motivational and positive leader amongst my peer. I'm a very quick learner and coachable player. I'm a fast, durable, and versatile player who isn't afraid of challenges. I conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field, knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.

What makes you different from other recruits in characters, athletics, and academics?--

I'm a real positive and optimistic person who puts the team before myself. I am a strong believer in that anything is possible. I know how to handle pressure very well, not easily get frustrated by mistakes, and use hatred as fuel.
