malik harden '14 Recruiting Profile

Football has always been my first love from the age of 7 till now I haven't missed one season.  It's always been my goal to play college football, and to go to a team and make a impact on a school and my fellow teammates.  Since I was young I've always strived to be the best and I definitely apply that to football, hard work is my specialty.  Along side of football its my goal to attend a prestigious academic school and keep my gpa above a 3.4, and be the first person in my family to go and complete college.  I aspire to see the look on my fathers face as I accept my diploma, and also as I play my first college ball game.  On the field my junior year I played a flex position, which consisted of a strong safety type of position, in my senior year I am playing all free safety.  I talk constantly on the field and I'm always the most prepared for the opposing team my coaches always told me I was the Quarterback of the defense.  In college I hope to play either cornerback or safety, with my play style these positions work out well.  I'm a aggressive player who can man up on a receiver but who also isn't afraid to step up and make a tackle.  One of my best talents is my ability to strip the ball, at all times when I'm on the field I'm attempting to knock the pig skin loose. I always talk on the field and I attempt to be the quarterback on the defense. I was selected second team all league and I received section 6 defensive player of the week in my junior season. Also I am a team captain in my senior season. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
