Matt Spatny '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'3, 245 pound outside linebacker and running back for the Medina High School. As a Sophomore I was a key starter as a wide receiver on a team that made the playoffs for only the fourth time in school history.  As a Junior I broke my hand in double sessions and switched to outside linebacker ad helped my team get to the Regional Finals.  I made game ending stops in 3 playoff games, and caused 3 fumbles.  Medina is a division one school that participates in the greater Cleveland conference.

I am looking for a school where I can do great in the classroom but still focus on football. I am interested in a school anywhere in the nation but would prefer somewhere from the Midwest to the East. I am strong, explosive, I make big plays, and I am versatile. I have always loved the game of football because of what it teaches you about character and hard work. A big part of my athletic contribution would be leadership and putting in work early and after hours. An example of my leadership is that I was unanimously named to our team's leadership council this year, and I expect to be named Captain next year.  I also have received a variety of academic awards and received a 3.9 GPA in high school so far. I intend to major in finance, as math is my favorite subject. My desire and skill in football will lead to success in college.
