Benjamin Smith '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Benjamin Smith. I attend high school at Marine Military Academy (MMA), an all boys boarding school located in Harlingen, TX.  *** I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MY CELL OR SOCIAL MEDIA - EXCEPT WEEKENDS ***

Some recent media highlights:

I am highly motivated academically, very coachable, and seek corrective feedback so that I can become more flexible and nimble in the pocket. I am revered by my teammates as cool and collective and I remain calm and intact during stressful situations on and off the field.

After transferring to MMA mid-year 9th grade, I overcame many challenges and acquired many achievements!  In the Spring, I was introduced to Track & Field. I was taught 5 events, placed at regionals in 4 events, and won 3rd place at State competition in three events! I was the only 14-year-old competing in the Long and Triple Jump's against 19 and 20 year old’s! I felt unbelievable after achieving this accomplishment!  At 15 years old, I led MMA to their first STATE FOOTBALL Competition in over 25 years!  This achievement moved our school up to a new region!  I am a humble leader, currently second in command within my Company as First Sergeant. 

What an honor it would be to bring similar accomplishments to your college!  Your consideration and willingness to follow me this year is greatly appreciated!

Ben Smith
