Alec Rowan '18 Recruiting Profile

I stand out from other recruits in that I prioritize building my character over both my academic and athletic goals.  While I cannot imagine not playing football in college and I am extremely focused on my grades and take all honors courses, I value my integrity and Christian walk the most.  I want to help my team both on and off the field by being a blessing to my teammates and coaches.  Football is a game but it is also the place where I have developed my value for teamwork, brotherhood, respect for authority, perseverance, and understanding of how disappointments can fuel my work ethic. I am not a perfect player, but I am proud that I am viewed as a supportive leader by the other players and my coaches.  I am excited for playing varsity FB for the fourth year - my senior year - and serving on the coach's leadership council.  We have been through a lot as a group in those years on varsity, including a heartbreaking loss in the second round of the playoffs. 

The major I intend to pursue is business.   I am interested in international missions work.  I have travelled to Haiti to work with Samaritan's Feet in 2016 and a school mission trip to Guatemala in June 2017.
