2015 Highlights
2014 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Above all else I love to play the game of football and will continue to reach for the highest levels my ability will take me. This summer (entering my senior year) I am training at St. John's University with Coach Novak (Defensive Coordinator). I am focusing on increasing my speed (4.8 in the 40 yards- hand) and strength- I currently bench 265 and squat 385. I will continue to improve in all three of these areas throughout my senior year as well as focus on my agility and film study.
I have a strong faith in God and am blessed with a very close family. Three principles that guide my daily life are (1) Do what is right- look in the Bible if I am not sure; (2) Treat others the way I want to be treated and (3) Reach my full potential in life. My goal for college is to find a University that emulates my passion to reach my full potential. I intend to use both my degree and football experience after I graduate to give back to the community by coaching and community service.
I put forth the extra effort required to succeed both in the classroom and on the field. During the Summer of 2015 I am attending 8 various camps and combines in addition to my daily training and workouts. Since my Sophmore season I have started at the varsity level in both Baseball and Football and look forward to the recruting process- I will be a solid asset to your football program.
