Gary Pickle '09 Recruiting Profile

I'm already a student at Eastern Kentucky University and I want to graduate to inspire my five year old daughter and to help her to see that anyone can accomplish anything if they set their mind to it.  I am Currently attending classes to become an English Teacher and I wish to use my abilities to inspire the next generation to pursue higher education and be the best version of themselves that they can be mentally and physically.

I stepped away from football a long time ago when I started High School due to home issues and although I have been interested in it since, I had no clue how to get involved in college if I didn't play during High school.  I have had experience playing as a Guard, Tackle, Linebacker, and Running Back.  I keep myself in shape currently with a mixture of martial arts and rigorous workouts, such as Hapkido, Capoeira, Yoga, daily runs and weightlifting.

While I may be an unorthodox choice, I can promise that I will do everything I can to push myself and those around me to their limit.  Nothing worth doing is easy, and I don't give up.
