Jackson Grimes ‘21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I plan on becoming a civil engineer.  My 3.9 GPA and 31 ACT score make me a good candidate for most engineering programs. I am looking for a school where I can get a good education and also continue my football career. 

I started playing football as a fourth grader. I was part of an amazing team gathered from three schools in the area. That team went undefeated for two years in a row, and gave me a great foundation in both the technical and mental aspects of football. It also gave me an intense love of the sport. Since than I have played all through middle school and high school,  and hope to continue playing into college. I am a very vocal leader on my football and basketball teams, but I also do my best to remain coachable. The highlight of my career thus far has been my senior year.  Three of my fellow seniors and I led our team to the state semifinals, setting records for our school. I was also able to personally acheive All-State First Team, Academic All-State, and Western Great Plains All-Conference. That historic season taught me the importance of hard work, good leadership, and team work.  I would love to see how I could impact your program.
