Personal Statement
My name is Ryan Weitz. I have been playing football, the game I love, since I was 7 years old. As I look to the future, I am looking for a university that will fit my academic needs as well as allow me to continue to play football. My academic interests are in Business or Sports Management, so I would like to find a college that offers both of these majors.
I have been an offensive and defensive lineman from the very start. I am 6'2" and 285 pounds. I have been committed to the weight room since the summer before my freshman year. I hold the squat record at my high school at 500 pounds and my total weight for squat, dead lift, power clean and bench at 1,505 pounds has me tied for 2nd all time at my high school.
As I enter my senior year of high school, my goals are to work hard to get my GPA up. I am taking 3 AP courses and 1 honors course. I am also working to increase my SAT scores by working with Princeton Review. As far as football, my personal goal is to become a captain so that I can pass along my knowledge and be a mentor to the underclassmen. My other goal is to help lead my team to the state playoff's once again after a 1 year absence.
Wherever I end up, I plan on working hard academically and working hard on the field.
Ryan Weitz
