William Leach '22 Recruiting Profile

I have set my personal goal to play football in college.  I hope to play for a successful D1 or D2 program with a coaching staff that can teach me and lead me to being the best player possible.  I believe I am a great candidate for a college team for many reasons.  First of all I have a very strong drive to win.  Having won the state junior wrestling championships four times, three of those being consecutive years.  The year I didn't, I lost in triple overtime.  Every year, I wrestled in the weight class above my weight.  Also, I am not easily intimidated or concerned about who my opponent is on the football field or the wrestling mat.  Be it bigger, stronger, or faster I look at it as an opportunity!

Secondly, I feel I am a natural leader who pushes my teammates but is also always there to help them or listen to their problems.  My coaches have told me and my Dad that I am easily coachable and have a very strong work ethic.  I believe in being honest with my team and myself, even if it is hard to hear.  I am my own worst critic when it comes to my performance and work to improve on those shortcomings.  One thing that sets me apart is I have my convictions and the courage to defend those to anyone.  I know what I believe is right and wrong and will call you out if you are doing wrong.
