Dustin Cognetti '17 Recruiting Profile

Some of my collegiate goals are to make a good football team great by contributing my leadership, passion and work ethic to a contagious level. I aspire to continue to be recognized as a person who excels at everything that I participate with. A character is not an attribute that a person gets to choose where to apply; it is a piece of their fabric. If you have the character of a champion, then you will be successful in all aspects of life as a student-athlete. I am a unique candidate for your program because I have excelled on and off the football field as a captain, held the starting positions of center, linebacker and long snapper, and I succeeded in the classroom. As a Sophomore I was a starter both ways on the JV team while continuing to do my best on and off the field.
