Mitch Arthur '14 Recruiting Profile

I am currently in my Senior season at Don Bosco Prep. This season I am starting at Left Guard and lined up at LT one game due to injury.  I am also very skilled at the center position and can play any position on the OL with mastery.  I feel I am playing my best football to date and I attribute that to my coaches, trainers and my desire to get better everyday.  In the offseason I have gained some good weight and hover right around 265.  Certainly my increased size had dramatically complemented my technique and I build on that everyday.

Here are some highlights of my 1st 4 games this season. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/886791/highlights/78057376?autoplay=1

Junior season I started every game at Right Guard and started on Special Teams for Punt, FG and Extra Point. I have been fortunate to play against the highest level of high school football competition in the USA. This season I played head-up against 4 H.S. All-American's in games against Gilman, St. Thomas Aquinas, ECA and everyday in practice against Alquadin Muhammed. Having the opportunity to play against the best has allowed me elevate my game and my successes against these competitors have elevated my drive to climb higher. Additionally the experience of travelling to Utah, Maryland and Florida twice to play football has provided me the opportunity to play in high energy, high stress game situations.

 As a sophomore in 2011, where we won the National and State Championships I was one of 5 sophomores who made the 58 man travel roster. Over the past 2 seasons at Don Bosco I have been a teammate to and practiced against 5 Army All Americans and 17 Division I football athletes. 

I have always had a strong desire to play college football and envision myself attending an excellent academic school that provides me with the best education and opportunity to pursue my football career. Currently, I feel very fortunate to have incredible coaches that have helped me develop and improve my skills to become the best player I can be. I am a hard working, conscientious student athlete that has a strong desire to play at the next level.
