Ben Gilbert '26 Recruiting Profile

I love football! I have a desire to work hard to not only be the best I can be, but also to help my team be the best we can be. I have an enthusiasm for athletics and competing and strive to be a positive leader both on and off the field. My coaches regularly tell me that I am a team leader, and they are shocked that I have had the respect of my peers at this young age. I don't take that lightly and want to always try to bring my team mates up in whatever way I can. I like to laugh and yell and get excited, while also having respect for the game, my school, my parents, and my coaches. I will bring passion and energy to whatever program I am a part of.  Athletically, I like to be prepared for my competitor by working hard in the weight room and studying film. Academically, I work to reach my highest potential and try to focus on the goal of providing well for my family in the future. From the beginning of my career, I will work hard to fulfill whatever role is needed and do it to the best of my ability.
