Personal Statement
I am passionate about this game. I come from a household of athletes stemming from my father, who is coach and retired NFL defensive back. So, football is in my blood. A major point you will notice about me is... I am a threat on either side of the ball as well as a “Gifted and Talented” student in the classroom.
When I came into freshman year my usual position was RB and WR, but when our coaching staff needed me to play in the secondary, I did. A steep learning curve for me but I still had a great season! I led all defensive backs in tackles, pass breakups and big hits. I had 3 interceptions with 1 returned for a touchdown. On the offensive side, I had 3 touchdowns and many long runs. On special teams I added 1 KO return for TD and several 50+ yard returns.
Sophomore Year, I was starting on varsity as a safety and at the end of the season i had 70+ tackles, 2 interceptions both returned for TD's ( 65 yds and 50 yds), 3 fumble recoveries with one for a TD, 1 Field Goal Block, and 1 sack as well as multiple QB pressures. I made 2nd Team All District for 6A-11 and made the U17 USA National Team.
Besides football, I also ran JV track last season. I was a member of the 4x100m team, ran both 100m and 200m, high-jumped and triple-jumped as well. My best event is probably the 100m, were finished 4th in the district finals. My fastest 100m this year as a freshman was 11.07 sec.
Academically, I rank 21st out of 750 students in my class. I carry a 4.27 GPA and I am also on the “A” Honor Roll. To date, I have only taken the ACT once and it was in 7th grade as part of the Duke Scholar program and I scored an 18 and i recently took the NEW PSAT and scored a 1300 out of 1600. Every class I take is either Honors or AP. I was voted as French Club treasurer by my peers freshman year and I was inducted into French National Honors Society. One academic stat I pride myself on is being the only 10th grader in 12th grade honors PreCal and I have the highest GPA overall in the class.
Wherever I attend school, I would focus on majoring in Business and eventually obtaining a MBA. Beyond college my long term goal is to either establish my own company or work my way up in a fortune 500 company to become the CEO.
