Tre Scott '20 Recruiting Profile

From the minute I was able to hold a football, I was hooked on the sport. I was five years old the first time I set foot on a football field, wearing pads and cleats and a helmet that weighed probably twice as much as I did. I learned pretty quickly that getting hit didn't hurt, in fact, I loved it! Tackling, putting pressure on the quarterback, being the fastest coming off the line- these are the things I live for.  

When I was two, my dad was in a motorcycle accident and lost part of his left leg. My mom had to support my sister and myself alone for almost six months while my dad was in recovery. I don't remember much about the accident, but I do remember his determination to never give up.  As I was growing up, my dad would remind me to give it all I had and not to worry about my physical size, because, what really matters is the size of my determination. My dad's older brother, my Uncle Wes, was my pee wee football coach for most of those years. He helped shape me into the player that I am today.  

If I have learned anything about myself though the game of football, it would have to be that I am amazed at my ability to adjust to new situations,  my ability to set and achieve goals I once thought impossible, my ability to stand firm in my faith in God and in myself, and the ability to trust other people and also have those people trust me. 

I would love to have the opportunity to play college football while earning a degree in sports medicine. I want to take my love for sports and my need to help others and mold that into a career that I will love for a lifetime.
