Jackson Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

Playing the game of football is something I have had such an intense love and passion for ever since I started playing the game in the 6th grade. There is something truly so unique about the sport that truly requires complete dedication, motivation, and "buy-in" from yourself and the members of your team for success. That is why this sport has such a tremendous impact not just on the field, but off-field in making better men and leaders of tomorrow. As an offensive linemen I absolutely thrive in punishing defenders on every single play. There is nothing better in dominating another human being so badly every single play. I use relentless physicality and "smash-mouth" blocks to set the tone and show the opponent I mean business. I am willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish any dreams or goals I have in my life, even if it means sacrificing all that I fear in losing. As the only way to attack diversity is to face it head on and make yourself uncomfortable to find who you truly are and what you happen to be made of as an individual. This is the type of effort I am willing to give to anything meaningful in my lifetime, as if it were easy everyone would do it. My dream is to play division 1 collegiate football and I will be willing to do anything imaginable to accomplish this dream that I have had and cherished since I was a small kid.
