Ricky Eastern '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ricky Eastern Jr. I'm a sophomore at Althoff Catholic Highschool to graduate in 2024. Since my first year of high school, I've been honored to be a starter on our varsity football team. I played on community teams in my elementary years(Fairview Heights Falcons and The Little Devils of Belleville). I have developed and significantly improved over the last two years. I listen to my coaches, work hard and implement. 

My goal is to be a dominant player in college, a college where I can excel in my athletic and academic abilities. I work hard on the field and keep my head in the books. I also have a love for chess. I am dedicated and supportive of my team.

I look forward to learning and achieving much more. I enjoy being on the wrestling team, track and field(Shot Put), and the chess club. I'm pretty good at basketball and plan to try out for the team in the upcoming season, but my love for football is first and foremost.

I know God will open great college opportunities for me as long as I continue to do my part, and I will.
