2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a Senior at Dixie High School in Due West, S.C. where I am a starting at DE/OLB for the Hornet football team and will graduate in May 2016. Currently, I have a 3.153 GPA with a 2.9 core GPA based on the South Carolina grading system. I have completed 16 core courses by the end of my junior year. I only need English IV to graduate but will be taking additional courses to better prepare myself for college. As a student athlete my number one collegiate goal is to earn my degree so I can obtain a job that I enjoy doing and is also beneficial to my future and my family's future.
I was voted team captain my senior year. I have been selected to play in the South Carolina North/South All-Star game in Myrtle Beach on December 12th and will be wearing number 75 for the North Squad. I was selected All Region, All Lakelands and All State Defensive End for 2014 & 2015 for my junior & senior season. I am rated as a 5 star athlete by NCSA and am featured in Tom Lemmings 2014 Prep Football Guide. I was selected to attend the Nike Regional Opening in the spring of 2015 and the Rivals Camp in Charlotte in March 2014 as well as the VTO Elite 100 in Charlotte in April 2014. I started all 11 games at defensive end my sophomore, junior & senior seasons. In baseball I hit over 300 and pitched a 1 hitter, 2 hitter and 3 hitter. I am currently playing basketball as a senior.
I am very competitive and play with a lot of heart. My desire on & off the football field is to be a leader and a "difference maker". I am looking for the same type of coach and teammates in college. I am looking for a head coach and coaching staff that will not only continue to teach me the game of football but will help me grow as a person and help prepare me for life after college.
