March 1 2020 HKA ...Personal Statement
I am currently ranked as 5-stars and #3 Kicker in the 2021 class by Kornblue Kicking, I am in the Hammer Kicking Top40, and I am ranked 4.5 stars by Kohl's Kicking.
I played soccer my whole life and started kicking a football in 2017 for High School football as a Freshman. I gave up soccer in 2019 to focus on football.
As a Freshman in my first year kicking only 1 missed extra point in 9 JV games. 6 for 6 on Varsity extra points. Kickoffs were consistently inside the 5 and sometimes into or out of the back of the end zone.
As a Sophomore I was the starting varsity placekicker. I finished 2nd on the team in scoring and Honorable Mention All-Conference and All-Region. I finished the season 6/9 FGs with a long of 43, 37/39 PATs, and 22/66 Touchbacks. My field goals were accurate within 45 yards with the ability to hit over 50 yards.
As a Junior, I played full-time WR, part-time defense, and did all the placekicking. I finished 5/9 on FGs for the Season with a long of 51 yards and other makes of 25, 46, 46, and 49. I had 32/51 touchbacks and made 26/28 PATs. I was also the backup punter with a long of 60 yards. I was selected 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-Region, and 2nd Team All-State for the 2019 season.
I am a B student at a challenging College Prep High School and will be well prepared for the challenges of being a college student-athlete. I am a very hands-on person so I am looking for a college where I can contribute on the field and earn a degree in Business that I can use to someday run my own business.

YesAwards and Activities
- AwardsI attend a very challenging college-prep high school. My first semester of Freshman year was a difficult adjustment for me from Middle School. Since that time I have learned how to prepare and study and my grades have been A's and B's with only a few C's. My school really prepares students for college and they often have higher GPAs in college than in High School.
- ActivitiesI enjoy working on cars, especially my Jeep. I put the lift on my Jeep myself with my Dad, and I do all of the modifications. I also enjoy fishing and work at a fly fishing shop. I am a certified SCUBA diver, and I have been skiing and snowboarding since I was 1 year old.
