Jake Sanford '20 Recruiting Profile

In college, my main priority is to obtain a degree in a field I will be happy and successful in.  My main goal as an athlete is to contribute to my team winning. I am a good leader, and very competitive as well as a good teammate. I was named a Captain of my football team preseason as a Junior at a very competitive Class B school. I volunteer much of my time outside of school and sports to help out in my community.  Athletically, I pride myself on how much work I put into during the off-season, not just in football but also basketball and outdoor track. Throughout my career I was able to outwork many people above me who may have been considered more experienced and more talented than me and I believe it is because of my work ethic.  Similar to my athletics, I am very competitive and hardworking in my academics because I want to be the best and most successful at everything I do.  The main thing I believe separates me from other athletes is my IQ for the game of football. I watch a lot of film of opposing teams, and players to learn their tendencies because I believe that gives my team and me an advantage over the opposition.
