Joseph Metcalf '17 Recruiting Profile

My life has been influenced by my faith,  my family,  and my friends.  I am a devoted Christian and attend a Catholic church every Sunday.   We have a large family on both my Father's and Mother's side and I am very close with all of them.   Our family are all hard workers and this has been expected of me since I was young.   Sports has also greatly influenced my life.  I grew up playing soccer and worked very hard to win many tournaments with my club teams.  This helped me to become the fierce competitor I am today.  I also began to wrestle when I was in middle school.  Wrestling helped me develop a trait of persistent hard work which pays off with better results.  Wrestling was a great sport for me to develop significant mental and physical toughness and a drive to be successful.  Sports have taught me the value of being in shape, watching my diet, and improving my strength and the difference that makes in my performance.

My academic goals for high school is to improve on my GPA while continuing to challenge myself with difficult classes at a top performing High School.   My goals for college is to excel as a student and an athlete positioning myself for success after College.  I plan to pursue a degree in Finance and then go to Law school.

My coaches and teammates would say that I am very focused,  hard working,  physically and mentally tough.  Being a good overall athlete has helped me excel as a kicker and I see many years of improvement ahead of me.  I like to be challenged and tested and believe I have the ability to be the best Kicker in the country.  I look forward to being a leader on a quality, focused football program and helping them to win.
