Jordan Downs '18 Recruiting Profile

I have played football since 5th grade and have always enjoyed it, however, I used to just enjoy it for the community and the ability to be around my friends. Once High school football started and the game was played on a much more serious level that was when I fell in love with the sport and decided that I wanted to play college football.  

I have constantly worked hard to make sure that I am the best football player I can be for my team. I always wanted to put my team first over my own personal goals, my priority was to be who I needed to be for my team first, whether that meant being a blocker for most of the game or whether it meant catching an important touchdown pass, winning comes first. 

This last football season I was recognized as All division, All Vype Offense, and Little all city for tight end. I have always worked hard in the classroom and have had times where I've had to grind to maintain my GPA. My grades have always been the most important thing to me because I always believed in what I was capable of.  

I am hoping to find a college match where I can play football and still work towards my degree.  I aspire to prove that even if you are from a small town, putting forth enough effort and showing a true passion for what you want to do can get you anywhere you want to be in life.
