Elijah Santos Nettles '18 Recruiting Profile

I have outstanding citizenship at school, study hard, never missed a football practice in the four seasons, study and do my homework to completion. My friends are on the football team and I have a few good friends from the team since kindergarten. 

Education is important.  I have improved my GPA.  My grades last year were A B with B clearly reaching within 1 to 2 points from being an A.  This year I decided to take a full load just to be at school to study and keep my weight training up.  My grades this year are still outstanding with AB as well.

Football is important!  I absolutely love the whole atmosphere including friendships and strong team bonds. The past 4 years of high school I had near perfect school attendance and perfect Football practice attendance.  I was moved up to varsity as we went to playoffs for the first time in over 8 years.  I have grown this year not only in height but also in my goals in life.  Football discipline has made me a better person.  I began my last year in high school and my last year on the Football field of Bonanza High School as a Bengal varsity player.

I am looking forward to practice and playing on the field in my senior year and moving on to college.  I started my senior year as a varsity defensive tackle. I am hoping a coach will see my potential and give me an opportunity in college.  Thank you for reading my profile.
