Jacob Salazar '17 Recruiting Profile

For me football isn't just a game, it's way more than that. I have poured in countless hours to try and better myself and give myself an edge. I personally feel like I have a chip on my shoulder, nobody in my immediate family has gone to college.  I refuse to settle for anything less than the best, and I want to prove if you work hard enough anything is possible.I have aspirations to be successful later on in life, and I can't stay away from sports. This is why I plan on majoring in sports marketing.

I am not the most outgoing person out there, but I will always put forth my best effort. The thought of failure haunts me and drives me to push myself not only on the field, but also in the classroom.  I may not be the smartest or most athletic person you will ever meet, but I will make it seem like I am.

Although I didn't play high school football, I did compete in several 7 on 7 tournaments throughout high school. I played basketball in high school and maintained my conditioning and strength through basketball and weight training. All I need is a chance to prove that I can perform on the field.
