Caleb Ornelas '24 Recruiting Profile

i Hold myself to a high standard, football is my way of showing that. I remember my freshman year before the football season the cross country coach had pulled me aside and told me I was better of running with him because i wouldnt get any play time or would be lucky if I started on special teams.  That only lit a spark in me and from that day on I haven’t stopped working for my goals. since then I have been through a lot personally, and football has been the only consistent thing I have had to lean on, the one place I can leave it out on the field and truly feel like myself. I want to go study business so that I can own restaurants one day football is already getting me ready for this because I am the captain of the team. I need to learn how to lead on and off the field and that’s a lesson that will be with me all my life. the one thing that makes me different from other recruits is my work ethic, i will outwork anyone. i hold myself to be a division one athlete and the only person that will stop me is myself .
