Gavin Potts '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to obtain a Sports Management degree on my way to becoming a football coach in high school but preferably in college. What makes me a good candidate for a team is that I am athletic, love playing football and love the game, and I like to win as a team. What I mean by that is that I think a team win is more important than personal glory or achievement. I have been coached that to win I will play any position that the coach and team needs me. In example, I have played defensive tackle, defensive end, offensive tackle, and even safety once to help out the team due to injury instead of my usual inside linebacker position. I listen to my coaches so that I can become a better player and try to incorporate what they are teaching me the next play. I am honest, meticulous, hard working and very academically oriented. I have been taught by my parents that grades, learning and intelligence are absolutely necessary to not only play football but to GET to play football. I have a very quiet and reserved personality and I am still learning that I need to communicate with my coaches and how to communicate with my coaches. I feel i would be a huge asset to the team on and off the field.
