Robert Puccio '15 Recruiting Profile

Hi I'm Robert Bradley Puccio.  My collegiate goals and aspirations are to go and compete at the division one level, get my education, and grow as a young man.  I am very hardworking.  I do not believe that you can ever be good enough, and there is always room to improve as a student athlete.  I am a natural leader.  I do not feel that I am being the best I can be if I am not setting good examples for my team mates, and helping them get better and mature as I show them.  I am all about team.  Nothing is a one man show.  Without my team or better yet my second family I would not be put in the position for success as I am today.  Academically I have a 3.8 GPA and I am still trying to improve in the class room as well as on the field.  Education is placed before anything.  Without grades you are nothing.  Athletically I play many other sports.  After football ends I am straight into basketball, and then track/field.  Football is my passion.  I have started on the varsity football team since my freshman year.  We have won three straight regional championships, and two state championships since I have played on the team.  I have had the honor of being awarded First team All Western North Carolina, as well as Second team in the year past.  I have been All Smokey Mountain conference two years running, and also 1A All State.  I only want to better myself from this point on.
