I believe a have a HUGE upside as a football player for two reasons:  in college I will focus on one sport year round, not multiple sports AND I will play only offense OR defense, not both.  Playing both in HS, I play 130 to 160  plays a game.  That will not be the case in college.

I am an excellent student athlete.   I believe my preparation, attention to detail and work habits allow me to excel on the field and in the classroom.   I have very strong morals and values that help guide me so I can make great decisions on the field, in the classroom and in life.    I am a student of the game of football and believe the game is played with the body AND the mind, and I have a very strong desire to compete and ultimately WIN.  

I train very hard to improve myself physically and mentally, and increase my knowledge of the game.  I  consider myself to have a high football IQ and very coachable.     I know and love the game of football, and with my physical size, skills (speed, hands, route running, etc) and aggressiveness,   My skills and success in HS will translate to the field for any college program that will utilize my skills and provide me with the opportunity.
