Raiden Michailoff '20 Recruiting Profile

I'm trying to go straight to a 4-year college right after I graduate high school, on a scholarship. One of my biggest goals is to play a sport, preferably football, for Division 1 school. However, if athletics doesn't work out, I'm open to just about anything because I am still trying to figure out my life long career, but all I know for sure is I want sports to be a part of my future.

I really love the game of football. I've played since I was six years old and I always work hard and compete to the very best of my ability. I'm a very serious and determined player in the sense of doing my job and getting it done on and off the field. I have great leadership skills, and I keep my teammates spirits up when they make a mistake. I never miss practice and I always make sure my teammates go, even when they don't want to. When they do decide to skip practice or just go through the motions because they are feeling "lazy" I do hold them accountable for their actions. Throughout the years I've played multiple sports. The main ones include football and baseball, but I played 2 years of basketball in a league called NJB, and I also ran track in middle school. 

I'm a big motivator for many people on and off the field. I make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing such as keeping their grades up, or if they are confused about a play or formation I'll try to break it down for them if the coach isn't giving a clear explanation. I am really driven by football, so when I don't feel like doing some homework or taking notes, I just think about football and my teammates. All that goes through my head is "if I don't get this done, this is going to hurt my team."
