Sebastian Quintanilla '27 Recruiting Profile

As a young man (16 years old),  for the past 5 years I have been forced to make it through many adversities that have made me stronger and committed to making the best of what I have. I had faced many adversities due to my father's health (Blindness and ESKD), I had to grow up and mature faster than my peers and be able to see life much more differently than other kids my age.

During these challenging times, I have taken over roles that have allowed me to acquire skills that have helped me to learn to be able to balance family, home, school, and life. Being able to go to College will allow me to play the sport I am passionate about but as well being able to fulfill my dream to go to College and make my parents proud as well as work on my degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and become a strong role model for my young sibblings and peers. 

What I am bringing to the team is passion for this sport, ethics, commitment, leadership skills, self-motivation, integrity, responsibility, and my sense of empowering and motivating others to achieve their own potential. I am willing to work 110 percent in every aspect and strive for improvement and learning during challenging times. I was taught by my dad who coached me through my pee-wee and youth flag and tackle football, that if you have a dream, you have to give it all no matter what, that giving up is not an option, pushing through hard times no matter how hard it gets, learning to be self-less instead of being selfish and most important that the game is not over until the very last second...
