Personal Statement
I have played football since 1st grade and learned a lot about team play. Also, about individual
responsibility. I have been a starter on a 7th grade team that went to the championship game in
the Ozark Football League. And the next year I started at defensive tackle on the team that won
the Ozark Football League. I was the only lineman to earn the Player of the Week honor either year.
I am going to Springfield Catholic in high school to obtain a high level of education in preperation
for college. I want to get a business degree. Going to college on a football scholarship is my goal.
Backed up with academic scholarship opportunities.
I am a valuable football player because of relentless pursuit. (I've made a few tackles 30yards+ down
the field) Reading plays quickly helps with that, along with very good lateral quickness. I tend to get
stronger as the game progresses.
My parents have sacrificed a lot of time and money to get me to this point. (they have really stretched
the budget to get me into Catholic) I plan on making them proud in the end.
