Dylan Vander Goot '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since 3rd grade. It has taught me that sometimes not everything is gonna go your way but you can always push yourself and others to get through it. I’m not always the loud and vocal leader, but I am a leader that leads by example and shows others what needs to be done. I really believe in the mentality that iron sharpens iron and I strive to push others and myself to make everyone better.  I am used to being underestimated since I started high school at 5'5" and 115 pounds.  At the beginning of my Junior year football I was 5'11" and 145 pounds and currently I am just shy of 6'1" and 160 pounds.  I come from a family that develops physically later than most, but I think that taught me to work hard to achieve the goals I set for myself and to not give up.
