Personal Statement
Athletically speaking, I would really like to play college football in the SEC. I chose the SEC because of the level of competition and the successes enjoyed in sending players to the NFL. I understand that to get to that level requires extreme dedication and sacrifice, but I'm ready to invest that level of participation in myself. My favorite SEC teams are LSU, Auburn, Missouri and Alabama. My dad likes The Ohio State University, so maybe them too. I'm a good candidate because I want to be one of the best defensive linemen in the country and will work more than necessary to achieve that goal. I would also like to think that I'm pretty intelligent because I have a high GPA that includes Honors courses, and I think that my GPA and academic involvement will help whatever team I'm blessed to join.
My parents have always said that my size, talent and intelligence are gifts/blessings from God and I have to work hard as possible to show God that I appreciate the blessings and know that being gracious will give me more blessings, like good health and no injuries.
