Joseph Figueroa '16 Recruiting Profile

After my first year as a varsity player I found myself standing among several All-American players at the 1st Team All Bergen County, NJ Awards dinner. I got myself in that position through grueling 2 and a half hour workouts 4, 5 and even 6 days a week at times (405lb bench, 545lb Squat and 285lb Hang Clean max-out). I took what I worked for in the offseason and put it into the physicality and violence I needed to dominate opponents throughout the season. My run blocking footwork is great. My pass blocking is much improved. I prided myself on finishing run blocks to the ground and being a leader among the team whether it be on the practice field or in the game. That leadership led me to be named the captain for my upcoming senior season. My GPA is a 4.32 out of 5.00 while taking all Honors classes except for Spanish. My Senior Year class schedule consists of 3 AP classes with 2 other honors courses. My work ethic is matched by very few and I intend to carry that work ethic as well as my dominance on the field into the college I attend.
