Avery Thompson '25 Recruiting Profile

As an eight year old first steeping onto a football field my passion for the game has only intensified. This passion makes my greatest goal to achieve an athletic scholarship to play at any level of colligate football. I find motivation to do my best on and off the field through my family, friends and teammates. With my experience on the wrestling mat, I've learned to dig deep within myself and fight through adversity. As the varsity center and varsity heavyweight I have learned to take leadership responsibilities seriously helping my teammates achieve their goals in competition and in the weight room. Over the years I have worked with youth lineman and younger players on the J.V team on position responsibilities and techniques. I work hard to be a good role model for the younger athletes in the classroom and on the field. The achievement I am most proud of is maintaining a 3.4 gpa while being a starting athlete in three sports. I have participated in All-American and showcase games. I was fortunate enough to pick up a couple of extra football seasons during the pandemic with a travel team that challenged ourselves against the greatest competition we could find. After a school transfer and moving mid sophomore season I earned a starting varsity spot with a new team and coaches. For the wrestling team I have been a 2x regional qualifier and a 2x gold letter recipient. Thank you for your time and reading about me and some of my accomplishments.
