Sophomore Year Va...Junior Year Highl...Personal Statement
I am a two sport athlete from the state of Illinois. I've played both football and basketball for about 9 years, but my dominant sport is football. I aspire to play football at the college level for several reasons. I want to better myself as an individual, and through that college football provides great opportunities to do so. I want the experience of playing college football and I want to play college football because it's my passion.
Football has shown my true character, that I'm a very outgoing and genuine person. It has provided me the opportunity to develop my confidence and leadership skills throughout my life. I can add multiple values to a college program. Whether it's my unique personality or someone who excels greatly in the classroom, I am a highly motivated and team-first guy. I am a very intriguing prospect and I'm open to any college that's interested in me as a student-athlete.
