Elisha Shepherd '16 Recruiting Profile

 
My name is Elisha Shepherd. I am 17 years old. My collegiate goal is to be accepted into a top university with a great academic program in my field of study. I want to pursue a Bachelor's degree in sports medicine with a minor in Physical Education. My Academic goals are to graduate with honors and to become a student athlete of the year. My desires are to become an NFL football player someday and to train young boys how to play football and how to always keep a positive attitude on and off the field. After playing in the NFL for a certain amount of years my dream is to become a college coach at a university that I feel most comfortable with. With the aspirations that I have, I know I'll be successful as long as I put God first in all I do, stay focused, and work hard. My motto is "a winner never quit and a quitter never wins". This is why I won't give up, but I'll push forward in order to fulfill my goals and dreams for my life. I will be a good candidate for teams due to my eagerness to learn more about the game of football on a higher level, my physical fitness, my speed and the skills I already possess as a defensive back and offensive back in high school football. I am different from other recruits due to my natural instincts and abilities of reading plays, gaining yardage and a dynamic positive team leadership motivation when I'm in action on the field, during practice and in games. Academically my goal is to continue to have a very high GPA and stay an honor student because my education is always a top priority.The game of football is my passion because it teaches young men how to build character on and off the field. As a football player I've learned how to remain humble no matter how I'm complimented by others on my performance after our games of victory or defeat.
