Diego Casillas '19 Recruiting Profile

I have always had a love for football.  I enjoy and have played other sports and other activities,  but have always asked myself, how will this sport or activity make me a better football player.  For swim, I knew it would give me the endurance I need for football, for track, I knew it would help with my speed and quickness that football requires.  Playing chess with my dad and challenging myself for a better time in solving the Rubik’s Cube, would help me keep a sharp mind and quick decision making for learning and reading plays on the field.  

My biggest college goal is to get my master’s degree in engineering. I have always loved solving complexed problems that really get you thinking. I am very good in math and enjoy being challenged in class.   I have been two grade levels ahead in math since my 6th grade year.  I will complete Calculus 2 my senior year.  I feel that my Math level and taking dual credits in CAD classes will help prepare me for college and my interest in engineering.
