Personal Statement
I was introduced to football at the age of 7 by a neighbor who played for a local youth league in Texas. My parents signed me up for the next season and I was hooked after my first practice. I played for 4 years with this youth league at various positions including center, nose guard, linebacker, and full back. During this time, I was also introduced to youth league tackle Rugby. I played for 3 years as a winger and half back.
When I started playing football in school at the junior high level, I decided to try out for quarterback and have been in that position ever sense. I also get reps on defense as safety or corner every chance that I get. I moved from Texas to Louisiana my 8th grade year. I grew a great deal that year learning a new system and working on gaining the respect of teammates who did not know me. I also run track in the off-season and my events include the 200 meter, 4 x 100 meter relay and 4 x 400 meter relay.
I see football as always being a part of my future and plan on gearing my major in college to allow me to do this. I am looking for a school and program that will allow me to obtain my academic goals and be a good fit for me athletically. A program that will allow me to grow and will benefit for having me as not only a part of their team, but as a leader on their team
