Personal Statement
I am Jack Denton. I am a senior at Zionsville High School in Zionsville, Indiana, which a Class 5A (largest) school and in the highly competitive Hoosier Crossroads Conference. I have played many different sports, including baseball, basketball, rugby, wrestling, and track, but I am a football player. I am athletic and a very physical player; I want to dominate my opponent and I enjoy competing with a team. After playing well in my first few freshmen games, the coaches moved me to varsity, where I immediately started on special teams. I started at middle linebacker at the beginning of my sophomore season and moved to outside linebacker later in the season. I started at fullback my junior year, where I blocked for a very good senior tailback, carried the ball, and ran routes like a slot receiver. I have five varsity letters (3 football, 2 track) and I am committed to getting better each day. I want to play football at the college level, but academics are my top priority. My grades are good and are improving. I would prefer a larger school, but understand that smaller class sizes might be better for me. In terms of athletics, I am looking for a school where I can play and contribute to the team early. If I get the opportunity to play in college, I will commit myself to academics and my team's success.
