Jackson Medlin '20 Recruiting Profile

I have grown up as a military brat which has allowed me to view things in a unique way. I’ve met people from all backgrounds and heard of many different futures from which my own aspirations have been shaped.

One morning, I woke up to find a man standing over me by the name of Randy Bryant. Randy was trying to get me to come to football practice at the middle school that evening. Having always been told that I should play, I decided it would be a good idea to try it out. I ended up loving the sport. I am on my third season playing, and I hope to even pursue a college career for it. Because of this, a commitment was made by my family to have my Mom and I return to the states from Italy (our current duty station) in hopes of furthering my skill in the sport.

One hobby of mine that has had to be pushed to the side because of my time with football, is my love for computer electronics. I have built multiple computers, and in learning about the functions and processes of building computers, I have discovered my desire to pursue engineering as a career. Therefore, it is very important to me that I find a school that has excellent academics as well as a great athletic program.
