Elijah Connolly '16 Recruiting Profile

Hi Coaches: Thank you for visiting my page and taking time to review my profile.I am currently going into the 12th grade and I understand that I need to start preparing myself now if I want to be successful on and off the field. The people that inspire me are my parents. The people I aspire to be like are great philosophical and successful leaders in their own right such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Pope Francis, Derek Jeter, Bill Clinton, Ken Chenault, and Mandela to name a few. I would like to pursue a career in journalism.I enjoy being able to translate a story and share the human side of peoples perspective with the world. This allows me to help others tell their stories and inspires me to give back to others. I understand that getting into professional football is not easy and takes drive, dedication, and commitment, and the other 10% is luck. I am willing to push myself to my limits and at the same time utilize my family and support system to mentor and guide me to do the best I can. I hope that you will take the time to not only see me but to get to know me thru this profile. I welcome you to follow me throughout my last year of high school at Northwestern...Go Wildcats!!!!!. I know that if given the opportunity I will be the kind of athlete you are looking for. An athlete who can lead but also follow and accept direction which is most important. I am honest, a gentlemen, and a team player. What makes me different form other athletes is how I was raised to be respectful of others and to put God first. I know I can accomplish anything thru him. Thank you again for visiting my profile. I hope to hear from you soon.
