Blake McCoy '24 Recruiting Profile

 I am one of the most passionate players you'll meet.  I am a leader, an encourager for my fellow teammates and I stay focused on the season. I am a very coachable individual willing to take the next steps to play and learn at a higher level and any and all opportunities placed in front of me will be greatly appreciated.  I have been immersed in football training and studying since a very young age because I am and always have been passionate about the game. I take mostly honors classes in school, keep up good grades, have lots of friends, attend church every Wednesday and most Sundays, I spend a lot of time with my family and siblings and I never ever miss a practice and rarely miss school. I have a strong family support system and because of that I would love nothing more than to play at a high level while also earning my degree to help out my parents.  Whether that degree is a 2 year or 4 year degree, I will do what it takes to earn it on the field and off the field.  I have a strong character instilled in me through my strong Faith. I can see myself using my past football experience in mentoring the youth in the future in some way whether that's through education, ministry or sports as a career field.  Looking at my stats, you can see that I might not be the biggest guy on the field but I have a very high football IQ.  The best compliment I receive from others is that I'm one of the smartest on the field. I am usually the one that the coach relies on to remember plays and make calls on the field.  I understand the game in a different way than most guys on the teams that I have played on.  I have been through much diversity on the football field during my high school years as my high school struggled to retain coaches and win games.  Despite most guys transferring to new schools, I stuck it out until my Senior year when I decided to also transfer and this became the best decision I made.  But when the season was over, I then decided that I am not ready to end my passion for football  when it feels it just started and would love nothing more to keep learning and becoming a strong asset to a college team.
