David Kalinowski '21 Recruiting Profile

    I am a senior at Akron High School where I primarily play Inside Linebacker on the varsity football team.  I am a multisport athlete, playing varsity basketball and baseball as well, but my greatest passion is for football.  From the first time I stepped onto the field, I fell in love with the sport and competing to win.   As a student-athlete, I am as dedicated in the classroom as I am on the field.  In my first three years of high school, I have maintained a 99.39% unweighted GPA while taking many honors/advanced classes that my school offered, and rank #2 in my class.  Being a three-sport athlete, I have become more responsible for myself and have learned effective time management.  I have a relentless work ethic, and I am committed to trying to better myself every day.  During the summer, I go to weight room workouts consistently at 6:30 AM, working to get stronger and more explosive.  I have gained a great amount of knowledge about the game and life from my coaches, teammates, and personal experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today.  As I move forward to the collegiate level, I intend to use these attributes to excel as a player and to help my team be successful.  I am looking to make an impact on a program that has high standards both athletically and academically.
