Personal Statement
My name is Jamian LaNorris Risher. I am the oldest of five children and first to go through the college athlete recruiting process. I am a Senior (c/o 2022) at Wade Hampton High School in Varnville, SC. I have been playing organized football since I was 3 years old. I started playing for Estill Little League Dynamite team. I developed a love for the game ever since then. August 2007 was the start of my football career. I can say I have never missed a football season since I've started. Every year I got better and better and grew more and more in love. I played all the way from Little League to Middle School, to JV (partial season, moved up), to Varsity and to enhance my skills, I joined a 7v7 football team, LC Outlaws (SC) my Freshman year 2019.
It is my goal to attend a Division I College to play football and major in Mechanical Engineering. I am a great student athlete. I am an honored dual-enrolled student, currently in the top 15 percent of my class, looking to enroll into "your" learning institution in August 2022 on a full ride, academically and athletically. As you follow me this year, I hope that you see something in me to offer that full ride and have me join your team.
I am blessed to say that I have not had to overcome any obstacles to be where I am at today, until July 25th, 2020, I lost one of my biggest supporters to coronavirus, my grandfather. He loved football and loved to watch me play. I could always count on him to be in the stands. The remainder of my football career, I have dedicated to him. I don't take my lack of obstacles for granted. I thank God daily. I remain humble and thank Him for the given talent. I work and train hard because I want to be the best and I know my grandfather is expecting me to be the best, but it feels like my talent just comes naturally. I was born for this. I love football. I have a very high IQ for football.
I am physically and mentally ready for the next level. What makes me different from other recruits is that I am coachable. It has been stated by many that I'm a humbled, well mannered, very respectful, young man: I agree.... l.o.l. I am a ball hawk on the field and I'm tough. It takes a lot to stop me and I won't stop until I've reached the top! See you soon!
Peace and Blessings
