2021 Highlights2020 Highlights2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I go to school at a small 6 man school, but would like to move up to 11 man once out of High School and follow in my grandfathers footsteps to play football at the college level. As a six man player I do not get to play only one position on my team. The school I go to is small and we play a lot of Iron Man football being both offense and defense and filling in at what ever positions are needed. I prefer Offensive Line but I am also the team kicker as well as play on the defensive line. My coaches tell me that I am ‘coachable.’
I have not totally decided what I want to major in in college at this point but I know I like working with my hands and being productive. I am leaning towards mechanical engineering/design or medical school.
