Starting football late in the game, I had to work twice as hard to catch up to the strong athletes already with years on the field. In the last two years, I've made substantial strides, notably in my defensive skills and my ability to strip a quarterback. Being an extremely hard worker has been my secret sauce; I'm always the first on the field and the last to leave. Beyond football, I also run track and have achieved 2nd place in the district in the 100 m dash. I'm a member of the National Honor Society with a 3.8 GPA. Moreover, I am involved in leadership, FCCLA and YMSL. I owe constant gratitude to both my coaches and teammates who have relentlessly pushed me to push for success. I don't know how to give up. I'm known on and off the field for my hard work ethic and character. The season may end for some, but it never ends for me, football is my passion. I play year round and when I'm not playing for school, I'm playing select 7x7, endurance training, one on one coaching, or in the gym. The drive to play at a collegiate level inspires me daily, and I am determined to get there through continued hard work and perseverance.
