Personal Statement

I have always loved the game of football and it has always been my dream to play at the highest level. I understand that school comes first and will push myself to excel in the classroom and on the field. While I am focusing on school and sports I try to be the best classmate and teammate I can be, always treating everyone with respect. I will do whatever I need to do to excel in sports and in school. It is my personal goal not to just be the best player I can be but also be the best person I can be. I realize it takes a lot of work to become a college football player and outstanding student but I am willing to push myself to make that dream come true.

2021 YC Tiger Football (YC - Tigers 8th Grade Year)
Tyler's 7/8 grade Football team went undefeated this year. Tyler made tremendous efforts in all positions he played, mainly Middle linebacker and full/half back. Tyler is also the leading kicker for the team. He rarely would come out for a break, often only grabbing water during quarter changes and timeouts. Tyler excels in not only being a leader on his team but is one of the biggest hearts and most motivating players, always celebrating other's achievements.

Training

HS Weight Training
4 years
I meet several times a week for guided weight training with my team and coaches. Afterwards we usually move to the field for some drills. I try to work out as much as I can when I'm not already in another active sport. I also workout in my home gym when I can. I also took up farming this year as a good way to workout and get paid to do it - bucking hay has been a game changer.

2024, 2023, 2022The Northwest Showcase delivered a 700-athlete camp loaded with quality teams, include elite D1, D2, D3 and more. It was remarkably well-organized and streamlined to get its athletes reps at the correct competition level. I entered two sessions, one a tight end and the other as a linebacker. It was my third year and I feel it is one of the best camps to get exposure and reps. I look forward to it next year as well.
