Benjamin Butler '15 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing baseball since the age of 7 and football since the age of 11. Playing collegiate sports while attaining my college degree is something I hold in the highest regard and has been my goal since lacing up my first pair of cleats. I attend strength and conditioning workouts to increase my agility and speed. I work on improving my skills both on and off the field. Hard work, diligence, perseverance, leadership and quick reflexes are assets I can bring to a team. I value team work and comrardery. Academically, I have mainatined a B average while playing sports and working. I volunteered regularly at St. Francis Pet Hospital and Resort. The owner was impressed with my work ethic and high level of responsibility. So, I was asked to join their staff part-time. My most rewarding class thus far has been Teen Leadership where I immersed myself in the qualities/mentality of a leader. I wish to utilize my leadership ability in the athletic arena, in the classroom and after college. I aspire to attend college and not only receive my degree, but graduate with honors. I look for a competitive college with traditions and known academic standards.
