My last name is pronounced: O-can- YEV-ski . I have passion for the contact and competitiveness of football.
I am focused on playing football at a four year degree college. I am interested in business management, sports management.
I have been a member of the Boy Scouts of America for 9 years. The BSA has helped me increase my communication, time management, leadership, and people skills. Leadership is a part of my character. I have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award in the Boy Scouts of America. This year, as a Junior, I made the Varsity Captains Leadership Team.
Academically, I am working to achieve success in school, I am a member of the National Honors Society, Order of the Arrow, National Eagle Scout Association, and The National Society of High School Scholars. Athletically, I find that I am a stronger athlete because I listen to my coaches and push myself. My aspiration is to be the best version of myself and be the leader that only I can be. Football is my dream. I'm not afraid to work hard, compete hard, and give 110%.
