Mark Blount '21 Recruiting Profile

Growing up as the son of a professional athlete, I always had a great example of the hard work and dedication that it takes to compete at a high level. Moving away from home in my 8^th grade year was the first time I started playing football and I have been dedicated to the sport ever since. Attending IMG Academy has provided me with the training and knowledge of what it takes to be a great student athlete. Starting out at a young age, working with the older student athletes only made me work that much harder to be the best.  

Attending boarding school was a challenge to be away from my parents and my little brother but it has given me a sense of independence and determination to make myself and my family proud. I look forward to advancing my knowledge and skills both on and off the field.
