Tyler Critser '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'2" 250 pound Center and Defensive Lineman from Paradise, California. I have started on the Paradise High School varsity football team for two years and earned All Section First Team Center, All League Center, Outstanding Offensive Player of the Year, and Subway Scholar Athlete of the Week. I have a 3.3 GPA and plan to take my SAT and ACT this year. 

In addition to football, I play baseball and basketball and have been a team captain for numerous years in all three sports. I have played football for 10 years and have always dreamed of playing at the collegiate level. I have attended Football University the last three years and have been a Top Gun invite each year with attendance one year. I am a dedicated player and the last to leave the field at night. I spend many hours studying film and training during the off-season.

I am looking for an institution where I can find the right balance between the classroom and field. I would like to pursue a university with an outstanding academic reputation in the field of engineering. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I could play at the highest level possible and grow as a player. I would prefer to stay close to the west coast where my family is, although my fit with the team and university is a higher priority for me and I will absolutely consider all higher learning institution opportunities.
