Tavion Banks '20 Recruiting Profile

 I knew I wanted to play football since I was 4 years old.  I always looked up to my brother, because he played football.  I would play with him and his friends in the backyard  which gave me the opportunity to show my skill against the older kids. I did not care if I was tackled or got hurt. That’s when I knew I had the  passion for the sport of football.  I also wrestled for 9years and played Lacrosse for 6 years which contributed greatly to my football abilities. I am 100%  driven, dedicated, motivated and determined, whether it's training to get faster, stronger, or being a student of the game.  I play both sides of the ball and I am very versatile.  I was named  All-state RB in PA and 1st team all area DB.  I am also captain of my football team as a Junior. As a Captain I focus on leading  by example.  I bring good energy and momentum for the team during practice, games, and  in school.  Football encourages me to be a great student as well.  It gives me the incentive to work hard and do my best in the classroom  to maintain my grades and reach my goal of becoming a true student athlete. I am motivated and determined to progress and succeed in all that I do while remaining disciplined, humble and gracious for any opportunity that is presented to me.  Outside of the football field, I coach football Friday’s a youth football program for players from grades k-8th. This camp helps young players that want to excel in the sport. I am blessed to participate in a youth camp helping kids that have the same love of football as I did as a kid. I was also a representative of Aevidum and Sportsmanship and Character workshop for my school.  I consider myself to be a well rounded individual with future goals to pursue my education in business marketing as well as my football aspirations at a college that will provide me with the opportunity to graduate, and have a successful future.
