Personal Statement

I am a class of 2020 kicker from Crown Point, IN. This was my second year starting on varsity for the Andrean High School football team. Last season as a Junior, I earned first team AP all-state honors as well as all area honors. I currently have a 4.39 cumulative GPA taking several AP level courses. I have taken the ACT once and received a composite score of 30, but plan on taking it again to try and improve this score. In addition to working hard in the classroom and on the field, I enjoy volunteering at local charity events (Relay for Life Walk for the American Cancer Society & the Dream Big Walk for the Dawn Brancheau Foundation)

It's my dream to play college football, I am looking for a school with a strong football program and high academic excellence.

https://chrissailerkicking.com/player-rankings/profile?player=8503 Currently ranked #11 in 2020 class. 5.0 star ranking. "JJ is a phenomenal high school kicking prospect. A great looking athlete with one of the strongest legs in his class. He hits a big time D1 level ball off the ground on field goal. He gets great height on his ball and has 55+ yard range. His kickoffs are excellent. He drives the ball deep into the end zone with nice hang time. A great competitor that always does his best under pressure. He has all the tools compete with the best of the best. The sky is the limit with continued hard work. There is great upside here. JJ is a hard worker that is always a pleasure to work with. Look for JJ to dominate Vegas XXXIII and easily challenge for a TOP 12 spot. Fantastic prospect." player review by Chris Sailer, Chris Sailer Kicking
