Jackson Lathen '24 Recruiting Profile

I love hard work.  For the past two summers I have been working on a farm.  I love the work and the satisfaction I get when completing a task. Whether it is fixing fence, tagging cattle, giving cattle vaccinations, stacking hay, or moving rock I always feel satisfied when the day is done.  The work ethic I have learned on the farm translates in the work ethic I give to the sports I participate in.  I am always trying to better myself in the skills which will help me on the football field.  

Going to college isn't a goal of mine, it is an expectation.  One I have always known.  My goal is to play football at the collegiate level while I pursue my degree.  Right now I am interested in studying Agriculture.  I recently purchased and started my own herd of cattle.  The herd is small right now (4) but I plan to grow it over the coming years.  

I value my close relationships with my family and friends.  I value honesty, integrity, fairness, respect, and knowledge.  These are traits which I am constantly trying to improve in my life.  I look to people who value these traits as well.  Such as my mom, dad, coaches, and teachers.
