My name is Thijs, and I fell in love with playing football in middle school. I have played linebacker and wide receiver. I prefer linebacker because it is a lot more fun and I am always right in the action. I am working my butt off to get better and really enjoy learning and running new plays- especially when they have a great outcome in games. My coaches have said I am a hard worker and smart when it comes to football and in the classroom. I am taking pre-AP and plan to take AP classes in high school. I am trying to keep my grades up and balance football and academics. I am not afraid of hard work, sweat, and making and taking hits on the field. I value being respectful, kind, and helping others out. My goal is to be a well rounded both on and off the field.
