Tyler Santangelo '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a four-year varsity starter at quarterback and have above a 3.3 grade point. I was named captain of Cranbrook football team as a junior and I have the privilege of leading the Cranbrook football team as captain this year as a senior.  Although I have done well in academics and sports, I am most proud of my work with the charity I founded as a sophomore.  My charity is Edge-A-Head (edgeahead.com) and the mission of the charity is to provide online tutoring for inner city athletes.  I will base my college of choice on college’s academic programs and if I have the privilege to play football, I believe I can provide leadership and skills to support a winning program.  I decided to attend Cranbrook because of the difficulty of the academics.  Cranbrook has been rated in the top ten academic private schools in the country.  Cranbrook is a boarding school with attending students from 44 countries and 15 states.   Cranbrook was not noted for their football program.  At quarterback I started varsity as a freshman and our record first year record was 3 wins and 6 losses.  In my junior year we won 9 games with 1 lose and made it to the regionals. Last year we had only one senior on the team and I really enjoyed being contributing member of the football program turnaround.  I am looking forward to this coming year playing with a full legitimate senior class.  I received several awards last year and my stats and awards are listed on the first slide of my highlight film.
