Personal Statement
As a starting Linebacker on Lakeland Christian School’s Varsity team, I have had the opportunity learn what it means to be part of something bigger than myself. I am a Junior and have played at the varsity level since the end of my eighth grade season at LCS. Being pulled up early allowed me to earn valuable reps and learn under older players. I saw what it meant to be a good leader and teammate. And it made me want to pursue excellence. When the senior linebacker and leader of the team graduated at the end of my freshman year, he called me up and gave me his jersey number, 24. The message was clear— its your turn. So in victories and in losses I strive to be a leader on and off the field. I am vocal and point other players to their assignments pre snap, and at the end of the day, I love to play football—I love to hit.
I am excited for the opportunity to play football in college. My goals are to get a great education and to play football at a high level as well. I believe I am a good investment for any team and ultimately want to pursue my dream of playing in the NFL.
