Jonathan Dehne '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was in second grade of elementary school. Football has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy watching it but I love to play it. Either competitively or just to go out with friends and play. My favorite part of playing football is showing what a kind of man I am. Character is the biggest attribute about a man. He can be the greatest football player ever but if he has a bad attitude and doesn't want to talk to anyone or show them respect, then no one will want to be a part of the team he is on. The biggest thing you want out of a football player is someone who can lead no matter what is happening. I believe that I can be the leader that your college needs.

I also believe that my hustle is what sets me apart from a lot of other recruits. If the ball is on the otherside of the field I will give it my all to try and get over there and get in on the play. I firmly believe that if you do something wrong but you go one hundred percent it will cancel each other. I know that coaches would like to see hustle even when messing up instead of just stopping and hope that someone picks up your slack.

What I want to accomplish in college is something that I know I can obtain. I want to be known as a man of God. Someone who is humble and does everything in honor of God. Everything that I say and do will show that I am not a selfish young man but a selfless man who gives instead of takes. There are four things that are the most important things in my life.

• Faith
• Family
• Education
• Football

I know that no matter how bad things get I will still see the best in it. I will never be negative about any situation. I am a very positive person. Even if we are down by four touchdowns with three minutes left; I will still yell and cheer my team on. Because I never think that we are done and just give up and lose.

A little more about my personal life. I live in Weeping Water, Nebraska. It is a town of about one thousand people. Just like any other little town football is just about the biggest part of our town. I have started on our varsity football since I was a freshman. I have three brothers. I am the third oldest. Each one of my older brothers have played high school football.

I have to give all my thanks to God for giving me this ability and talent to play this sport. I also thank my parents for helping me through everything and being my biggest fans. If I didn't have them in my life I wouldn't be where I am now.
