Personal Statement
My name is Tommy Weidle and I am currently a senior at Fairview High School, Fairview, PA with a 3.025 gpa. I am a 5'9" quarterback/ defensive back and am committed to playing football as I pursue my academic education at the college level. During my high school career being a student-athlete has kept me focused and driven both in the classroom and on the football fied. As a junior, I received District 10/Region 4 Second Team Defense as a defensive back. I was also named by the Erie Times-News as Breakout Athlete of the Week Sept. 10, 2010. I was also named Fairview High School Athlete of the Week for Football September 4, 2010. Though my statistics may lack the "wow" factor, you must see me play in order to understand what a play-maker and presence I have both on and off the field! My leadership skills, knowledge of the sport, and maturity continues to develop as I grow in my role as a varsity quarterback and leader of the Fairview Tiger Football. Also, I was the captain and quarterback of our JV team in 2009 and lead our team to an undefeated season. What can I bring to your team? Three years of varsity playing experience (including playoff experience); on the field I am a motivator and impact player; dedication and hard work to a sport I am truly passionate about; leadership qualities only found with being a team captain and quarterback, and the ability to learn the sport and be coached. Most importantly, I am a young man committed to achieving my future goals by pursuing a college education.
