Ronan Bittner '23 Recruiting Profile

I want to get a respected degree and play football at the D-1 level with some of the  most talented people people in the country.  What separates me from other athletes is  my grit and and work ethic to get better day in and day out.  I'm focused and my coaches like my intensity. I have a strong will to win and be the best at my position and to help the team have the best synergy to win.   It's more important to be on a great team than to have the spotlight and great personal stats.  I have been a 3 sport athlete since middle school and the athleticism required in each sport has augmented the others.  As a high school sophomore, I was a varsity starter on both the football and wrestling team both years.  I am a good combination of size, strength, speed and agility, which makes me versatile.  I played both offense and defense, primarily as tight end and inside linebacker.  I also filled the offensive tackle position when an injury took out our starter late in the season.  This year my wrestling record was 17-2.  Even with 3 sports I try to heavily focus on academics.  I have consistently kept above a 3.5 GPA, and I  challenge myself with AP courses.  I'm naturally curious and a quick learner and I'm very good at remembering and executing plays and improving from day to day and year to year.
