Jack Lorenzen '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'1, 195lb linebacker from Wilsonville, Ontario, Canada. I have played football for eight years and I have been a starter on my high school varsity team for the past five  years.  I was  team captain for  three years and  assisted with running  the defensive practices and called all the defensive plays in our games. Our team was undefeated all year but lost the county championship by two points. Last year, we were also undefeated, had the number one defence and won the county championship. I was selected to the county All-Star team the past three years and was named MVP Defence for my team . My dream is to attend university and play football at the highest level possible.

I grew up in the small rural town of Wilsonville Ontario Canada. My experience growing up on a farm has provided me with a unique outlook on life. It has fostered a strong work ethic which I have applied to school and any activity I have been involved with.  I have earned a 4.0 GPA for the last four consecutive years and graduated an Ontario Scholar.  I returned to high school to participate in the co-op program at my high school and have been working with a local veterinarian.  My experiences here have confirmed my desire to become a veterinarian and would like to major in a pre-vet program at college.  I have participated and achieved success in many sports including football, hockey, track, soccer, baseball and golf.   Through my years as captain I have grown to be a leader that can motivate and guide my teammates.  In addition to playing sports I have coached a minor football team, consisting of 10 and 11 year olds which enriched my leadership and mentoring skills as well as my love for football.  As a strong student athlete I provided an excellent role model for my players.  I believe I can offer the same leadership, dedication and work ethic that I’ve garnered throughout my life , both in the classroom and on the football field.
