Matthew Williams '13 Recruiting Profile

(senior highlight film http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1471080/#highlights/26325307) Everyone has dreams that can not always be fulfilled. As a young child my dream has always been to play professional football. The chances of that happening is one in a million, but the person who works the hardest will always expect good results in life. As of now my dream is to play college football. I am a dedicated football player who will do whatever it takes to better myself and do whats best for ther team. There is no "i" in team so i do not try and degrade other people and i am not a selfish player who only cares about stats. My number one aspiration a person that i look up to and watch videos of before every football game is ray lewis (middle linebacker for the baltimore ravens). Reason why is because he is an great football player and is all about business. He is a spiritual person who believes in god and miracles. Ray lewis reminds me of myself when i step foot on the grid iron, entergetic, always excited, talkative, a leader, and also a person who loves to make big plays. If you are not excited when you step on the field and focused football is not a sport for you. Having goals in life and knowing what you want to do or become in life is the number one key to success. I have a list of goals that i would want to accomplish before god takes me of this earth. Having a degree and finishing college is my first priority. People go to college and get caught up in the campus life and forget about there goals and dreams. With talking to my fellow peers college can make you and also brake you, people that push themselves to stride for a better eduaction and get their masters degree are the people that pushed there minds to the limit to become successful. If football does not work out for me i would like to study criminal justice or engineer classes. I would love to have a family and son who i can relive my dreams through even tho he might have dreams of his own. Another goal is to be a better man than my father and the fake father figures i have been surrounded by.
