I have been playing defensive line and I attend Shawnee HS, in Oklahoma. I have a 3.5 GPA and my current ACT score is 19, I plan on retaking the test a few more times to improve my results. We have played 5A for some time and next year have been revised to a 6A school - this will be a challenge I am looking forward to.
I began playing football in my sophomore year of high school, and I have started in each season. This season I started in every JV game and plan on starting on the varsity team next season. I've matured mentally and physically while playing football. There are so many traits you acquire while playing a team sport that will help turn a boy into a great man, as I've realized. I'm not the biggest or strongest, but my coaches understand when I play I leave everything on the field. Every play, every quarter I put my heart into the game and I expect the same thing from my brothers I stand with on the field. I may only be 6 feet tall and weigh 235 pounds but i make my presence known in every game. I might make a mistake but its all in the learning process. I have aspirations to continue playing football at the collegiate level. It has been something I have wanted all my life and I might have gotten into the game late, but I won't let that detour my goals. I'm doing what I love and therefore I play ever play, every quarter, and every game like its my last!
