Chans Strickland '22 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing football since 5 years old.  I have a high football IQ and a really good GPA. I’m a senior at Pickerington Central - ranked in the country, two time state champion and one time state runner-up. 

I’m a good candidate because my high school is ranked high in athletics and in academics. I have a 3.5 GPA and am interested in perusing a degree in business. My parents own businesses and I’ve learned from them how to apply myself and work hard to reach my goals.  I am motivated and a self-starter and it’s proven in my work ethic at school and on the football field. I have also been involved in community activities and with church programs. 

My school was loaded with talent being one of the top football schools in Ohio. I’ve earned 3 Varsity Letters - for sophomore, junior and senior year.  I played alongside the state’s top recruits in my position which is why my playtime was limited.  This often happens on a loaded team. Our rival school as well as others tried to recruit me to be a starter, but due to Covid-19 and senior year approaching, I decided to stay and graduate where I started. 

I’m excited to sign on with a great team in a school setting where I can flourish both in the classroom and on the field.   I’m interested in all division levels of collegiate athletics and looking forward to the opportunities that awaits.
