I have been playing football since I was twelve years old. Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life. I am always working to improve my skills as well as training to get bigger, faster and stronger. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the football field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.Things that have affected my life is my family and how they follow each others footsteps in some way, but I don't want that. I want to be the first professional athlete in my family and be successful and make them proud. I became interested in sports because my stepdad why would yell and scream at the TV about football and what they need to do, so I start watching football and wanted to start playing and actually played at 12. I have learned that once I have started something I finish it and it may hurt but I always finish.What are your academic goals for high school? For college? My academic goals for high school is to pass with a 3.0 and higher and get a good education. For college I want to earn degrees in marketing to make money in case I don't make pro-ball I have something to fall back on so I don't get left with nothing. The biggest obstacle I had to get over was to get off my butt so I can get in shape and do something with my life instead of being a coach potato.
