Personal Statement
My name is Trae Leach. I am a senior at Dolores High School in Dolores, Colorado. I am a defensive lineman. I say this because defense is my passion. A lot of guys dream of being a quarterback or making touch downs. I dream of making tackles and sacking the quarterback. I’ve played several positions on defensive; tackle, end, and linebacker. My favorite position is tackle, but I will play anywhere that I am needed. And to that end, I have played offensive guard. My goal is to play college football and be the best defensive lineman I can be. At the same time, I will further my education and work on a degree in computer science. Ideally, I would like a smaller school west of the Mississippi.
I think our local radio announcer summed me up when he was announcing a varsity game my sophomore year. It was the fourth quarter of a game and we were losing. There was no way we were going to back a comeback. The other team had the ball the play had just begun. “This is why I love this game. We are losing the game, but Leach is pumped. He made a great tackle He is getting me all excited. We are losing the game, no chance to win and he has me pumped! I don’t know how he’s doing it but he is putting a smile on my face.” I’m Trae Leach, and I am your defensive lineman.
