Emani Johnson '18 Recruiting Profile

Playing football for a collegiate program is the main goal I'm pursuing. Excelling in the classroom is my top priority because I've learned to understand that I need to achieve the best grades I possibly can in order to be successful anywhere I end up going in life. I grew up playing football since I was 5 and I would like to continue pursuing that path because I have a passion for the game. The love I have for the game is so remarkable that I would like to attend a college where I can continue playing football and work to achieve a degree at the same time. I have always been a student athlete first, I put my grades before anything else so I can be successful in school. Being a student-athlete has taught me hard work and perseverance. Over the years I have learned how to work very hard on and off the field, which is why I value being a student-athlete so much. Other than being a team first sport, football is a learning experience and I have 13 years of it. I know that I can bring a strong work ethic and leadership to any team I end up playing for. I have a lot of confidence in my game and faith in my team, having a positive attitude and determination can lead to success for a team. I never give up on a play and I always keep my head up, because I know that there is no lead that is to surmountable for a comeback. Therefore, I play this game with a tremendous amount of heart and I leave everything that I have out onto that field every time I play. I don't take anything for granted and I make the absolute most of any opportunity I am given. I work extremely hard, giving it my all in the classroom, at practice, and in games. Other than my athletic ability, I can ensure you that I will give 110% no matter what it is that I am doing and I will contribute success along with outstanding performances that can be a difference maker for your program.
