Michael Houghton '13 Recruiting Profile

I am 6'-4", 215 pounds and gaining good weight fast. My first varsity year, as a junior, I went both ways playing positions I have never played before because I started at quarterback in my prior 2 years as a high school athlete. I worked very hard on my transition of positions and it paid off by the start of my junior season earning a starting position at new positions. My leadership skills began as quarterback, continued in my captain role as a junior and now as a senior leader as a second year varsity player. I prove my leadership to my teammates on and off the field by being a good citizen in my community, by being respectful of my coaches and by building a brotherhood of trust with my teammates.  When I decide where to go for college it does not matter where, I will evaluate the schools that are interested in my athletic skills and those I get accepted to. My major is still undecided but I am interested in sports marketing, sports management and communications. My athletic goals are to contribute as a freshman in everyway possible and go into training camp thinking I have a legitimate shot at a starting position. I am dedicated to working as hard as possible to accomplish my goals athletically and academically so that I have opportunities in life.
