RJ Olivieri '25 Recruiting Profile

Football is more than a game to me; it's a way of life. With 17 years of dedication, including 2 years as a varsity starter and team captain, I've poured my heart and soul into every snap. My accomplishments on the field, including a 30-6 record as a starter, back-to-back honorable mentions at quarterback, and program records in passing yards and touchdowns, are a testament to my hard work and perseverance.

However, my passion for football extends beyond my playing career. The discipline, camaraderie, and leadership skills I've developed on the gridiron have shaped me into the person I am today. With a strong military background in my family, I've always been drawn to the values of service, sacrifice, and patriotism. After college, I plan to serve my country as a pilot, following in the footsteps of my loved ones who have inspired me.

Academically, I'm driven to succeed in the business world. I'm eager to pursue a degree in business and develop the skills necessary to excel in the corporate world. My long-term goal is to become a commercial pilot and entrepreneur, leveraging my business acumen to build a successful career in real estate.

Football has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, teamwork, and leadership. As I look to the future, I'm excited to take the next step in my football journey, competing at the collegiate level and inspiring my teammates with my work ethic and dedication. All I ask for is an opportunity to prove myself, to show that my passion, combined with my skills and experience, make me a valuable asset to any team.

Ultimately, football is more than just a game – it's a way to build character, forge lasting bonds, and create lifelong memories. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had so far, and I'm excited to see where my passion for football takes me next.
