Steven Keech '19 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my life, my older brother and I have always been very competitive which has caused me to be the athlete I am today.  I always looked up to him and tried to out do him in everything we did together. Ever since we were old enough to walk we were influenced by our athletic relatives to play sports. With that being said, I can't remember a time we weren't outside tossing around anything from a football to frisbee. Although I've been playing my whole life, the time I started to become obsessed with football was during my sophomore year in high school when I got a taste of some varsity playing time that season. The exhilaration of it caused me to start looking into it more to where I was watching YouTube videos on JJ Watt and Joey Bosa everyday of my summer break. During that time, I also started to look into working out a lot more than I was.  Moreover, my older brother is now playing college football football at a high level which has also pushed me to play college football as well. All of that essentially lead me to where I am today with the dream of playing football at the next level.
