Sam Painter '19 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate goal is to be a professional athlete.  I am hoping for an athletic scholarship to a college or university.  I want to study the body, physical fitness, and coaching.  I am a 16 year old Junior.  I am a great red shirt candidate, because I am a very young Junior.  I was born at the end of July.  I have been competing against kids older then me ever since I started playing organized sports.

I attend church.  I don't drink, do drugs or smoke tobacco.  I was born in the Pacific Islands, and lived my first 10 years in Guam, Solomon Islands, and American Samoa.  My family then moved to Litchfield, Il my father's home town.  My mother is a Pacific Islander, and my dad is from the USA.  I love sports.  I've been told by many people, including many coaches, that I have a great arm and am a naturally good athlete.  I want to learn, work hard, and be the best I can be.

I am a three sport athlete.  I have started on both the football and basketball teams since my sophomore year.  I have started varsity baseball since my freshmen year.
