Daniel Griffey '15 Recruiting Profile

     Someone who maximizes his potential to its absolute peak is someone who has achieved greatness. That is what I want. Ever since I was introduced to football, I've dreamed of playing college football. It is what I want to do and when I achieve that goal, I will be fully committed to it. What has inspired me the most has been having a vision set on being my absolute best. Whether in the weight room, field, or class room I want to maximize my full potential to be all that I can be. I don't just want to get by, I want to perform at my highest level possible. 

     I also know there is a life after college football. I have interest in social science and I believe I could be some kind of a manager or coach. I do not know which career I will devote myself to just yet, but studying hard in college on the majors I choose will, I believe, help me figure that out. 

    When it is all said and done, I want to know I had been my best and took advantage of all the opportunities to do so. I love the game and want to play as long as I can. After all, you can't strap on your helmet and shoulder pads at 50 years old. Knowing this, I intend on making as much of an impact as I can on my team and my college. Whether on the field, in the class room, or on campus and elsewhere I don't want to waste time but rather apply myself in all I am being taught as it all has a purpose. Apart of being my absolute best means making others around me better. That is true leadership. We see guys like Manning, Brady, and Brees among others that have a direct impact on their teammates not just because of their talent, but because they know how to connect with them, speak their language, and show selflessness making the team want to play for them. This is something I know I can do.
