Elijah Hutchinson '17 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to use football as a tool to acquire  useful skills for my upcoming adult life.  Skills such as, communication, cooperation teamwork, work ethic and leadership. The core goal I have set for myself is to do whatever is necessary to excel in my academics and on the field. My goals football wise are to be a great leader on and off the field, be an All-American, and also give back to community. I believe the number one quality of someone of great character is a strong sense of integrity, doing what's right will benefit you in the long run even if no one's around to see. Athletically what makes me stand out from other recruits is that I'm determined to improve on all of my skills by putting in the work when no one else is. If I make a mistake I'll accept that I did it and try to learn from it. A quality I carry with me with both sports I participate in football and wrestling is that I am very coachable and listen precisely and ask questions. That quality originates from my learning ability in school; as my academics play the key  role in this path that I am taking. Lastly I'm very competitive in everything I do, I have no choice but to compete because I've been doing it since birth with my twin brother.
