- 2023 Spotlight
Personal Statement
I am a DE/OL from Manchester, England. I currently attend Zarephath Academy in Jacksonville, Florida. I am 6'8 and weigh 265 lbs. I have a 4.38 GPA. I am new to American football, only starting in the summer of 2023; however, I am a quick learner and very committed to being the best player I can be. I have a history of playing multiple sports, which includes soccer for 7+ years; rugby for 1 year; and basketball for 4+ years. I have represented my country internationally at the FIBA level, have won a national title for basketball in the UK, and am a varsity basketball player for Potters House Christian Academy (Jax, FL). I love to compete, and I understand the level of commitment it takes to bring success to a program. I am coachable and passionate about improving. I am a supportive teammate and love to encourage teammates on and off the field, whether that be cheering or clapping on the field or having one-on-one conversations. Furthermore, I am a team captain currently for the football program. It has always been a dream of mine to be a college athlete; as a result, I left the UK at 16 to pursue my dreams here in the States.
I am looking for an institution where I can find the right balance between the classroom and the field. I am currently undecided about which major to pursue. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I could make an immediate impact on the team but also have the ability to develop as a player due to a lack of time in the game. I will absolutely consider all higher learning institution opportunities.
