Tod Dawes '25 Recruiting Profile

At the age of 3, I began watching football with my dad. I was playing it outside with my dad and his friends and enjoyed reading and learning all about the game. As a young child, I would watch the games all season, my parents are both football fans, and watching the players make contact with each other, and run so fast to make the plays was exciting to me.

 I am really focused on maintaining my grades and keeping my cumulative GPA above 3.4. I want to become a sports trainer or sports physical therapist- to stay involved with football. I hope to graduate college with a 3.5 GPA or above. 

I have 2 brothers, and 1 sister, and both parents, and both sets of grandparents are supportive of me. They my attend games and also help me work out and train outside of practice.

My knowledge of the game goes beyond my position. I read the other teams' plays, personally prepare for them, send information to the sideline, or inform teammates. I want to play DB, yet I could also play RB, TE, or WR. 

In my time playing the game, I have learned how to work hard, be part of a team and stay strong. I also have learned that no matter the score, always try my hardest. The game isn't over until it is over.

I have had to become strong and fast. I was not very large or muscular as a young child. Now I am working out and gaining weight and becoming stronger and faster every day.
