Peyton Strickland '22 Recruiting Profile

I'm a kid from the south that grew up around football and have always love the sport. In college I want to pursue athletic training or sport management, really just something to do with sports that keeps me involved after college. I'm a good candidate for teams because I am always the hardest worker in the room and if i think somebody is doing better than me train harder. I am different from other recruits because as a player, if I am not good at something or I make a mistake in practice or a game, I will work on that thing until I've nearly perfected it .  I also am a good sport when it comes to being on the field. If an opponent is trash talking or doing something that isn't necessary, I don't let it effect the way I play and I show that person that I'm on the field to play and not to argue with them. Athletically,  I stand out because as a TE and Receiver, I am larger and stronger than any DB I play against. I am in the weight room for 2 hours a day 5 days a week, I am constantly trying to be stronger than any opponent I will ever have to play. Academically, I take a lot of classes that are more challenging and more work then a lot of other athletes usually take. Almost every class I take is an honors class if it is capable of being one. I get above average grades in these classes and I am always working on trying to better and raise my grades. I would love to play college football, maybe even play in the NFL, not for money or fame, but because I truly love the sport.
