Matthew Parkis '23 Recruiting Profile

I love the sport of football as it allows me to grow not just as an athlete but also as a student. Football has taught me how to think quickly without hesitation as well as helped me become a leader on the field and in the classroom. My great leadership skills has allowed me to be invited to a multitude of programs such as the medical intensive program at American University with NSLC (national student leadership conference). What makes me a great athlete is no matter how much I am pushed down I always will get back up and keep going. Another reason I would be a great college athlete is I am coachable and when given criticism I will take it and fix my mistakes. My dream is to get drafted into the NFL and play football or continue my education after college to get into med school and become a sports medicine doctor and to give back to those who helped me.
