Corey Long '17 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to play on the next level of college athletics, lacrosse or football. Not only do i want to be successful on the field, but also off the field. Whether its in the classroom or just being a parent supporting a family. I want people to look at me and say "darn, I want to be HIM." I believe what makes me different from other athletes is my ethic and dedication. I am either studying, practicing, or just running around with friends. Also, i think i am a great leader too. I don't play just football, i also play varsity lacrosse at my school. As a freshman on varsity last year, i did anything coach asked, whether it was go play defense, or go get a goal, i was there for him. The best part of being a freshman on a varsity sport was having my little neighbors (who i help with lacrosse everyday) come and bring there friends and ask for autographs, and just them saying that's my friend gives me a warm feeling. Last but not least, the classroom, i am almost always doing my work in class, but I am human and can have fun when necessary. I am always helping my friends with academics and always asking how or why when i get a question wrong.
