André Oben '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello coach:

I am a 6'3 260lb offensive lineman at Saint Peters Prep in Jersey City, New Jersey. I primarily play tackle, and also guard; I am willing to learn to snap the ball - whatever it takes to help my team. I play multiple sports, like wrestling & track (shot put & discus). I currently have a 3.6 GPA at one of the best private schools in my state and have made academic honors. I'm also actively involved in the community through our teen club at my church.

My parents have enforced hard that hard in everything I do. They both went through a lot of adversity to become very successful people. As a 12 year NFL Veteran offensive tackle, my father has taught me many aspects of football giving me better knowledge of the mental approach to the game. My mother was a D-III volleyball player and I have learned from her that you must always maximize your ability. One of my goals is also to earn a scholarship to play at a high academic institution at an FBS school. Besides the honor of representing a college or university as a collegiate athlete, I know that college is expensive and I don't want my parents to pay for tuition.
I'm also aware that I must become the best athlete that I can be, and stand out from others to earn a scholarship. In terms of choosing a school to go to, I would like to go to a school that has a great academic and athletic tradition. I believe it is important to go to a school where I have a great relationship with the coaches and the players.
