I believe I would bring great leadership to any team I play for and I will always work as hard as possible. I have always given everything I have to every game. I have loved football since I was born and I grew up playing with my family. I would cherish the chance to play football at the next level. My ability to run the option and zone read schemes as well as play from under center is my strength as well as my work ethic, leadership qualities and desire to be the best.
In High School I have been involved in FFA, FCA, Church Youth Group, National Honor Society and Honor Roll maintaining a 3.71 GPA in Honor Classes. My faith is very important to me and plays an important role in my life. I also participate in basketball, track, baseball, and golf. Sports are a big part of my life but football has always been my favorite. MY goal is to play football at the college level as Receiver or possibly as Quarterback or Defensive Back and or Kicker.
