George Amankwah '19 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is George. I was born in Newark, New Jersey to Ghanaian Immigrants. At the age of 3 I created a bond with sports. At first I loved to play basketball. Then wen I got a little older I began to play soccer. I still do but not for a club team. Then sophomore year I began to play football. I suited up for varsity as a sophomore and was a second string safety as a junior. Now this is my senior year and I play fullback and safety. My dream is to make it to the league whether its football or soccer. I want to study Physical Therapy and Athletic Training in college. I think I am a great addition to any team because I am very physical on the field. As I am told by my coaches, I love to hit. Im just trying to do this for my family. Currently my dad is sick in the hospital. He has been there for 2 years suffering from a stroke that effected his speech and his walking. Also his kidney is blown so he is on a transplant list. He has been fighting diabetes and high blood pressure too. Its a lot and I just want to make him proud and make my family proud
