I am a 6'0, 205 defensive end from New City, NY and I graduate in 2018. I have played football for about 10 years, from Pop Warner, to middle school, up through my senior year of high school. I played for the Clarkstown South Vikings for all 4 of my high school seasons. I played on JV my freshman year, practiced with varsity and played games with JV my sophomore year, and started on both sides of the ball on varsity both my junior and senior years; junior year at defensive tackle and offensive left tackle and then senior year at defensive end and offensive left tackle. My senior year I was voted as captain by my teammates, achieved All-Conference, and was invited to play in the Section 1 Exceptional Senior Game at defensive end. My team this year was able to make it to the Section One Class AA finals, which hasn't been done at our school for 18 years. I take pride in what not only myself but what my team was able to accomplish with my help, and I believe I can make an impact on any team not just through my football skill but also with my leadership qualities.
There has been no offseason for me in my career, since I have always gone from football straight into wrestling season. However, I always made sure to be present at the winter and spring football team-lifts as well as spring intramurals. My drive to improve myself both on the field and in the classroom is paramount. I have a 90.36 GPA and a 29 ACT score.
I would like to go to a college or university where academics are competitive and prioritized, yet where I can also be challenged on the field. My ideal institution would have a prestigious business program. In terms of my athletic environment, I would like to make an impact on the team as soon as possible while I increase my proficiency in the weight room and study the playbook. My preference for school location extends anywhere excluding the midwest and west coast. I'd be willing to play at any level school as long as the academics are competitive enough.
