In order to achieve my goals, I recognize the importance of putting forth maximum effort both on and off the field. This includes the classroom and the practice fields. Academics are of the upmost importance to me. I am working to become the best student-athlete I can be. At present, my days are filled with hours of physical training. During the season, that training continues but is supplemented with an equal amount of classroom study and academics. I take great pride in both which is evidenced by my high academic achievement and GPA. A football career will only last so long. That’s why it is important for me to choose a college that can provide me with the resources to be successful in life well after my playing days are over.
