Personal Statement
I have played football since the 5th grade and have always loved the sport. I loved the sport but my love became a desire to play during my freshman year in high school. During my freshman year I avoided a serious injury and only ended up with a meniscus strain instead of a pulled or torn one. I play 8-man football as my high school is a D-2 school in football. I live in the middle of nowhere and that has caused it to be harder to contact college coaches as they won't here of me performing well or don't know where I am if they do. My father has not been in the picture in my life so having a father figure teaching me how to play football when I was a kid. That was a small obstacle that slowed down my progression in the sport. I've been told that with my smarts and size that I could be a player at the collegiate level. If not a full ride people feel that I could receive a scholarship for my grades as I hold a 3.9 to a 4.0 overall GPA.
