Jireh Wilson '18 Recruiting Profile

I’m a great student athlete, with the daily rigors of just being a high school student, I still maintain a 4.3 out of 5.0 GPA due to me being in AP classes. I do well at keeping a balance between schoolwork, sports, and helping my mom around the house and being a good example for my brothers, which is very important to me.  My teammates depend on me as I do them. We had an outstanding year making the state championship because of the hard work and dedication we put in on a daily basis. My collegiate goal is to play football for a D1 or D2 school and obtain my degree as an athletic trainer, I'm also considering sports medicine. I would love to make it to the NFL and become one of the best, dedicated players in the league. Having 2 parents in the Marine Corps and moving around a lot thought me how to adapt easily to the changes and challenges the world can throw at you. Instead of looking at the glass half empty I look at it half full always. Some of my most important character traits are humility, leadership, confidence, decisiveness, and a self starter just to name a few. Once my goal has been defined I stay focus until I achieve them. That is what I would bring to any team or anything I do in life period.  You give me the objective and I grind until the mission is complete. I push to end, I'm never defeated even when the clock runs out. Like my mom always tell me before a game "one team, one fight."
