Ben Collaer '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6 foot 195 pound junior at Houghton High School. I play quarterback and middle linebacker. One of my goals is to get the opportunity to play college football at the highest possible level and receive a great education in the process. I have a very aggressive style of play and enjoy as much contact as I can get. I can bench press 265 lbs., squat 355 lbs., and I have a 4.9 second 40 yard dash. As the team leader in tackles and yards carried, I was awarded with first team All-Conference and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's "Dream Team" or top 25 players as middle linebacker.

One asset I bring to a team is leadership. I am the captain of my football and basketball teams, but I also have off the field experience. I am the President of Houghton's student body, a member of the region's student leadership committee, I was appointed by administration to be my school's representative to the MYLead leadership conference at Michigan State, and I also am a leader in the class room. My GPA is 3.87 with a diverse schedule. My classes range from AP chemistry to Automotive Technology.
