2021 Highlights Personal Statement
I ended my senior (2021) season with 50/53 on PATs and 6/9 on FGs. I was named 1st Team All District and have been placed on a 3rd Team All State. I am a precise, consistent and reliable kicker. I like supporting my team in any way I can, whether it is putting up that PAT or executing three points when the team isn't able to punch it in for six. I put in the work to build strength and I am extremely coachable. I have worked with Kohls Kicking for three years, attending the National Scholarship Invitational in Gatlinburg this summer, as well as with P3K and Keith Duncan.
I am a two sport athlete. I have played soccer for nine years, competing for select club teams West Des Moines Soccer Club and Sporting Iowa as well as for our high school team. I am a versatile and flexible player who has successfully filled just about every position on the pitch. In addition to football, I am also interested in pursuing college level soccer opportunities that may be available.
In regards to field of study, I am undecided, but I have natural aptitude in science and history and enjoy studying politics. My GPA does not reflect my ability, and my pledge is to increase it exponentially. I plan to attend a 4-year university that will help me hone those interests while providing an opportunity to compete at the college level.

I feel you can be a very good high school kicker with little to no work. I like your aggressiveness on your FGs. You have a great foundation and have good natural ability. If your leg speed continues to develop, you could be a special player. You have a very good natural leg. You have enough ability to be a very good high school player who should compete in college with continued improvement."
