Personal Statement
Football has been a part of my family for many generations, and I've been playing since I was 7. I played a variety of positions including LB, RB, WR, DB, QB, and DE. Freshman year I began focusing on the offensive side of the ball playing Running Back despite Linebacker being my favorite position growing up. I have 2 uncles who played college football, and I have always aspired to play at that level. From a young age I have been blessed with speed and a competitive mindset. Between 7th and 8th grade I earned 2 varsity letters in track and field at the highest class level in Minnesota. Track has also been in my family's history. My grandpa received a full-ride scholarship to run track at UNI. Football has made me a better person overall by teaching me personal responsibility and mental toughness, as well as being a motivator for keeping my grades up. Football is a sport where you get knocked down and have to make a decision to get back up, and this has helped teach me how to battle adversity in my life. I have the grades and determination to play at the next level, and I am committed to making an impact in any program I'm part of.
