Kael Farkes 2017 ...Kael Farkes Fresh...Kael Farkes Sopho...Kael Farkes Junio...Personal Statement
I am 17 years old and go to Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, in Shawnee KS. I play football and throw for track and field. As a Freshman, I was a starter for the entire season on my high school varsity football team as an Offensive Left Tackle. In December of 2018 played in the Adidas Freshman All-American Game at right guard. I missed most of my sophomore season due to an injury to my hand. I was able to get into the last 3 games of the season. I am now a Center and Defensive End as a two-way Varsity starter. I was a 2020 2nd Team Sunflower League Offensive lineman, 2020 Wichita Eagle All-State honorable mention for offensive line, Sports in Kansas 2020 All-State Non-Senior Offensive lineman and a Sports in Kansas All-State Non-Senior Defensive lineman honorable mention.
My dream football goal is to be a starting Defensive End or Center. I am open to any college that would give me the opportunity to play. I have a good work ethic and a get it done attitude. I have been blessed to be trained by professional trainers and coaches such as Reshard Langford (MN Vikings Assist. Strength coach), Will Shields (NFL HOF alum), Chris Gomez (University of Central Missouri Alum), Michael Rose-Ivey (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), Pat Donohoe (retired NCAA D1 coach), and Mike Landry (CFL alum).
At school, I took all advanced core class and at the moment I have a 3.94 unweighted GPA. My ACT is a 21. I am an former member of Boy Scouts where I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout .
In high school I enjoy being focused on science classes and learning about the human body as I would like to study Kinesiology in college. I hope to become a personal trainer in the future. I want to teach kids and adults the importance of a healthy lifestyle and good eating. I hope to make an impact in my community and train future football players.
After high school, I plan on going to a 4-year college because those schools can give me a great opportunity to pursue my dreams of playing college football and studying to become a trainer. I plan to stay on top of my grades, and work hard in the weight room so I continue to improve my strength and skills.
