Personal Statement

I'm Erik Bierman and I'm in the class of 2014. Ever since people have been telling me that I have a talent for football, my biggest dream was to play for a collegiate football team. I love the game of football and give it my all everyday so I can succeed. Success is extremely important to me and in any team I've ever played for I've done all I can possibly do to help that team experience success. I currently weigh in at 290lbs and I am 6’4.5” tall. I play any position on the defensive line and any position on the offensive line, except center. My preferred positions are DT and DE. I also give my best effort to succeed in the classroom, currently maintaining a 3.3/4.0 GPA. I am also currently in a leadership course at my school to help me develop further skills for leading my peers. I would like to play for a college that has a strong athletic tradition. I am also looking to play for a college with strong academics. I am very interested in playing football at the next level and will base my decision on these two criteria. Although I am willing to play for any school that meets those two criterion, my preference would be to play for a school that is located within 8 hours of my hometown (as then my parents said they would attend all of my home games). I plan to pursue a degree in either History or the Social Sciences and see myself going on for graduate level studies following my undergraduate degree. I am committed to helping whichever school I attend be as successful as possible when it comes to football.
