Dustin Claeys '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a very competitive, driven athlete that demonstrates good sportsmanship on and off the field. I am often found extending my hand to opponents and teammates after a big hit. I am often modest with my abilities and talents, yet am always dedicated to bettering myself along with motivating and encouraging my team to be their best. My High School Football team nominated me to be a team captain this past year because of my positive attitude, ability to lead and guide players to work together as a team to achieve the utmost success . I have a great memory and learn plays quickly and know when to use them. I have maintained a high-grade point average while taking an Advanced Placement Math class, playing multiple sports such as Football, Wrestling, Power-Lifting, and Track. My journey as a student-athlete has taught me invaluable life skills—time management, teamwork, and the ability to thrive under pressure. I am not just pursuing success; I am cultivating a mindset that embraces challenges as opportunities for growth.

On and off the field, I am driven not only by personal goals but also by the desire to contribute positively to my community. As I embark on the next chapter of my academic and athletic journey, I am confident that my commitment to hard work and motivation will continue to propel me forward.
