I feel motivated to succeed because I have a hunger for greatness.  I pride myself on football IQ, picking up new information quickly, and show great discipline in my preparation.  My future goals are to play college football, get a great education for my future, and to be the best version of myself with no regrets.  Thank you for the reading this and the time you have dedicated to evaluating me and know that I can make a positive impact on your program.
