Clayton Knight '17 Recruiting Profile

**2016 5A State Champion**

My goals and desire is to attend college and graduate with a degree in business at this time.  My dream that I have worked diligently for my whole life is to play sports while I am in college getting my education.  Although, I have played many competitive and high school sports, my passion has and always will be football.  My grandfather was a high school ref and president of the North Mississippi Association for 30 plus years, and my whole life I have sat studying and watching football with him.  I am more than just an athlete or player, I am a student of the game.   I believe God has given me the personality and trait to be a strong field general and leader that is also confident and likable.  I feel I have been blessed with a talent at the quarterback position and I'm able to create and make a play even when the play may breakdown.  My knowledge of the game and my instincts and my heart for this game, help me react and get the next down or play.  I'm not your phototypical stature quarterback, but I work extremely hard to make that not even an issue with proven results.  I have the gift of remaining calm in crucial situations and leading from behind if needed.  I'm a dual threat style quarterback and able to make plays on the run when plays break down.  I have experience at running any type of offense.  Whoever chooses me to be a part of their program, will be getting a solid leader on and off the field.  I will and have always been an asset to any program that I have been a part of because of my work ethic and my goal oriented personality.  I believe in being the first there and the last to leave!
