Jean Valcius '15 Recruiting Profile

I was put on this earth to play football and be great at it. I never got the chance to play as a kid but always watched and followed the sport. When I finally got the chance to play my freshman year, I made the very most and best of it. I was the first at practice and the last to leave everyday. Every Saturday morning I would go out to the field with some friends and we would run routes, do footwork, speed, ball and position drills and anything to simply help get better. I am a leader on and off the field and hard working no matter what I do. Always the hardest on myself and expect nothing but the best. I'm always working towards bettering myself and my teammates. No matter what team I play for I bring hard work and dedication, 110% focus, leadership, a positive mind set and the hart of a lion. Not being able to play my senior year, due to a horrible knee injury and having to get surgery, was the worst thing that could possibly have happened to me. Sitting around, watching my highlights, other football videos, watching my team finish the season and thinking about playing on the next level has only made me starve to get back on the field, get back in shape and do what I do best. At this point in my life all I am looking forward to is graduating high school, attending a four year university, playing football and most importantly, double majoring in Criminal Justice and Psychology. At the end of my four years I will graduate with a degree and make my family proud of me.
