Kyle Shepherd '12 Recruiting Profile

I am from the small, rural town of Maypearl, Texas, which is located just south of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.    We are a 2A school and are constantly reminded how hard it is for athletes from small schools to receive a scholarship and be looked at by coaches; I would like to defy the odds and show my school and fellow teammates that nothing is impossible if you are committed to it and pursue it actively.  I am 6'6" and weigh 275 pounds so it is safe to say that people look up to me .....physically, but also as a leader.  I am fourth in my class with a 3.7 GPA and currently have completed nineteen college hours with a 3.3 GPA.  I am captain of my football team and have served as class officer, am in National Honor Society and student government. I will graduate at the age of 17 as my birthday is not until June.  My dream is to play college football and work toward a degree in Communications.  I am very active in my church youth group, and I participate in a wide range of community service activities at church and in our community.
