Edwin Gaulding '25 Recruiting Profile

Why me? Why would I be a good choice for your program? Please let me tell you. I have the size: I am 6'6" and 290 pounds. I am a hard worker both on and off the field, and I HAVE THE WANT and THE DRIVE to play football at the collegiate level. I am big and strong, am a quick learner, and have great football IQ. I have the ability to understand the playbook quickly. This allows me to understand my job and the job of my teammates.

I am very coachable, respectful, supportive, encouraging, and reliable teammate. I take responsibility for my actions, am always striving to improve, and lead my teammates by example. I will be everything you ever wanted in a player. I will help make the team better on the field, and be a leader in the locker room and in the classroom.

I only started playing football in the 9th grade, but I know I want to play collegiate football and have been reaching for this goal every single day. I made the Varsity football team as a freshman and quickly earned a starting role on the Offensive Line. I've also contributed along the Defensive Line as well.

I knew I wanted to play at a higher level, so I went to camp at IMG Academy to learn from the best. I was asked and am now playing for IMG Academy, one of the best high school football programs in the nation, and continuing to improve my game. Being at IMG Academy has fueled my HUNGER even more to play at the collegiate level.

While football is my PASSION, I've also played multiple sports. This includes baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and swimming. Playing multiple sports has contributed to my athleticism and mental toughness, while helping me become a well-rounded athlete.

I am also a leader in classroom ACADEMICS. I have a 3.94 GPA, take Honors and AP courses. I would like to attend a high academic institution, majoring in Business or Engineering. Lastly, I am capable of managing multiple tasks while being a student-athlete, which also allows for volunteering opportunities in my community.

I hope I can show you how my DRIVE, HUNGER, PASSION, and ACADEMICS will be an asset to your football program!
