Benjamin Backes '25 Recruiting Profile

Prospective coaches, 

Being better has always been what drives me to do more in sports, school, and my daily life.  I am a 5'8 and 165lb. offensive running back who loves to hit on the field and is acknowledged by coaches for being hard to take down and an aggressive running back.  I work hard not only on the field, but also on my own time off the field and in the weight room.  I am described by my coaches as hard working and self-motivated.  I am a team leader who leads by example.  I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest workers and fastest players on the team.  

I have always maintained good grades in school and work hard in the classroom.  My GPA of 3.9 reflects that hard work.  That same classroom work ethic is what you can expect of me on your team. 

I hope to find a team that works well together and a coaching staff that will help me expand on what I have learned over the years while playing football. I know I would not let you down as a coach if you chose to bring me into your football family.
