Nicolas Gilliam '21 Recruiting Profile

As a growing young man my goals change constantly; but one goal that will never change is to be the best at anything I do. God always comes first, family then football. I am grateful to have a great supporting cast behind me as I pursue my dream. When I was young I tried out different sports just because they seemed fun but football stuck with me. I started playing it and instantly fell in love with the game and I have been playing the game for over 8 years now. Everyday I study the game and my position trying to find ways to strengthen my talent. Although football is what I want to play it will not last forever, so for my career path and major I would like to focus on education or business/computer programming. My desire to teach developed from being inspired by my mother and several teachers throughout my life. They helped shape the young man I am and allowed me to enjoy learning. I want to be that same inspiration to someone else; "Each one, teach one". Getting a degree in business would allow me to start up a program where kids could play the sport they wanted even if they were not able to afford it, a free non-profit sports team throughout communities; also with a degree in computer programming I would like to work at Electronic Arts (EA) and help design future Madden games. No matter what I do I just want to be able to change someone’s life with it.
