Jeff Pickel '13 Recruiting Profile

I want to better myself as an individual by broadening my horizons and learning all I can while doing what I love the most at college which is playing football.

I am 5'11" and weigh 210lbs. I have led my team in tackles for three seasons. My love of the game and this team sport drives me to succeed on the field as evident with my varsity starter position in my freshman year. I hold my school's record for the most career tackles. I lead by example when participating in team sports whether it is football or wrestling. I believe hard work and perseverance improve chances of success and build one's characters.

I am looking for a school that has a solid reputation in academics. I would like to major in physical education. Size and location along with other specifics are not critical to my selection. My collegiate athletic goals are to make a positive impact to a football team on the practice field, game field and even off the field.
