Austin Perkins '17 Recruiting Profile

    Because my education has always been my precedence, one of my collegiate goals is to attend a four year university to attain my degree in Computer Engineering, and play the game I love to play, Football. I may be an undersized running back, but I have as much heart as any seven foot, three hundred thirty pound defensive end. I push through the pain to get better, and I put my body on the line for my teammates. What makes me different from other recruits is the fact that I’m wiling to learn and I want to be corrected.  I also sacrifice the lifestyle of the average teenage to better myself as a person/athlete. As an athlete, I feel as if you have to be self-motivated, you have to want to get better and do what it takes to do so.  More over, I also work outside of practice. My mindset for each practice is to get better and strive for greatness, for there is always room for improvement. I feel as if the more I work on the little things, the better player I will become. In conclusion, I feel as I would be a perfect fit for the team because I am willing to work hard and go the extra mile to help my team achieve the ultimate goal, success.
