Adam Saleh '23 Recruiting Profile

I come from a family of six and we were all brought up with the basic philosophy that my father drilled into our heads.  He said to put life priorities in this order: 1) God 2) family 3) Academics and then 4) your passions.  I believe that this philosophy along with a smile and positivity will take me far in life.  I have always aligned my passion for playing football with all three-- God, my family, and academics.  I believe that God is with us where ever we go, my teammates are a part of my family, and education and playing football go together, hand-to-hand.  I will always be a student first, and then an athlete.   I would say that I strive to do well in school, and this is why I took all AP classes as a student-athlete in high school and maintained a 3.9 average.   I can see myself finding a future in the field of engineering or other areas of mathematics while playing football.  I will carry my family's philosophy with me, through my collegiate experience on and off the field, and for the rest of my life.  As simple as it is, I truly believe that this belief will help create good habits and stay focused.  I am committed, disciplined, smart, and coachable enough to do whatever I need to do to succeed as a student-athlete.  I believe that my leadership and all of this set me aside from other athletes.
