Garrett Kelley '14 Recruiting Profile

I started playing football at the age of 6. Since then I have had a strong passion for the game. I have played both sides of the ball since my first years in flag football. Staying in good athletic shape by being a multi-sport athlete helped me to improve my skills. I am a team leader on and off the field. I have been a defensive captain two years straight and team captain this past year. In wrestling, I was a captain all four years of my varsity career as well.  I also understand the importance of encouraging my fellow teammates to work harder and stay mentally focused. I am very coachable and work hard to accomplish what I am being taught. I have a strong drive for achievement and an inner motor for success. 

I am wiling to review all options in hopes of finding the greatest level of competition possible. At the same time, education is a major concern for my future. Meeting these two requirements at the highest level possible is my ultimate goal. I give equal effort in my academic preparation as I do my football preparation. Thus, getting the opportunity to play college football would be a dream come true. I hope to make my coach, my team, my school and my family very proud. I have been selected first team all-state as a middle line backer this year. I have also broken the school rushing record with 1,750 yards and asked to play in the north vs south all-star game this year. I am willing to work just as hard to make a statement in my college play as well.
