Charles Collins '22 Recruiting Profile

I’m Charles Collins and I play football in the class of 2022. I started playing the game of football at the age of 6 years old, and I've been watching the game since I was about 4 years old.  I was influenced just by watching the game and seeing how much fun it was and at the age of 6 my mother signed me up to play tackle football and I loved it every since then.  My mother is such a strong women and she influences me everyday, she works hard and when there is a problem she works hard to bounce back from that and that's what influences me the most, also my dad, he went to prison when I was around 5 years old and he came home in 2016 and has been doing his best to help out my mom and become a better person and I just appreciate him for helpmg out my mother when she needs it and stepping up as father. To be honest my older brother influences me as well, he has been through high school recently and he tell me everything I need to do such as school work and makes sure I'm staying out of trouble and that's just my guy. For high school I would loved to graduate and major in engineering but I also love to take pictures so Im going to look into that as well. I want to play college ball wherever I feel welcomed and at home while I'm away from home and maintain good grades through the rest of my school life. Since I started playing football at the age of 6 I've learned that the game is all mental, when your on that field you got to be focused and ready to destroy anybody on the other side of the ball and also have confidence in who you are on that field. One unique thing about me is that I love to travel and see new things, and taking beautiful pictures while traveling is fun for me, I also love listening to music.
