Personal Statement
My name is Anthony Oriente, I am a linebacker from Shepherd Hill Regional High School in Dudley, Massachusetts. I will graduate with the class of 2020 and my goal is to play Division 1 football at the highest level possible.
I am currently enrolled in advanced AP courses with a GPA of 3.5 and a PSAT o of 1150. I am 5’8”, 185lbs. I have excelled in football since grammar school, each year showing continued growth and success. I have played 1st string Varsity Football since I became eligible in my sophomore year. During my sophomore year, I put together a great season that resulted in my being placed on the Central Mass, MidWach A and Worcester Telegram All Star Teams. These honors along with my hard work and team dedication were recently recognized by my coaches who elected me to be the first Junior Team Captain in twenty-five years.
I am looking for a University that can fulfill my dreams both on the field and in the classroom; a place that can offer a great football program coupled with brilliant academics. And I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those dreams. I am open to any size school in any location as I am willing to travel outside of my comfort zone and try something new. Ideally, I would like to play DI at the highest possible level, but I am open and willing to consider A Division I AA and Division II. Finally, my strongest asset is without a doubt game knowledge and I am able and willing to play any position that would best suit the team.
