Rhys Staley '23 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate goal for college is to earn a scholarship and to continue to play the sport I love more than any other, while at the same time acquiring whatever skills and knowledge I need for a long and fulfilling career. I am starting to set my sights towards the engineering field, it has been one of my areas of interest as far as a major is concerned. I am a good candidate for any university because I will go out and work, no matter the circumstances, no matter the pressure, no matter the cost. I believe I am preparing for this very scenario by attending St James School. It’s preparing me for life after high school.  I am learning  what it’s like to be on my own, living with my peers, learning how to be independent, how to be a leader, keeping balance in my relationships with my family 900km away and completing all the tasks that the rigorous academic schedule at St James demands. I am an exceptional athlete who is able to play any position on the field, including QB which is my primary position. This also gives me an edge. My football IQ is high, I have been playing football for a long time already and feel my football IQ, my leadership qualities, my willingness to do whatever is necessary to succeed on and off the field and my classroom experience at St James make me different from other recruits.
