Colton George '15 Recruiting Profile

My name is Colton George and I live in Simonton Texas. I go to a small school by the name of Brazos High School, it’s in Wallis Texas. I attend Simonton Community Church regularly and am heavily involved in the youth group there. I am just an ordinary teenager going to an ordinary school with ordinary friends, but it’s my goals in life that are extraordinary.

                Brazos High School has been the laughing stock of our district the past 10 years when it comes to football, but starting my junior year, that’s all going to change. My freshman year I was on JV and our whole team was freshman, and we were very good! We didn’t win every game, but we also only had 12 people on the team. Come my sophomore year, we had a lot of injuries to our starting players, including me. Our season was supposed to be great but it ended up going down the drain. I was extremely upset, but with the season ending that way I was only motivated to be bigger, faster, and stronger.

                Since the 2012 football season ended (my sophomore year) I started power lifting and ran track. I was either in the weight room, on the track, or on the field working to get better! I worked out 3 hours a day trying and trying to get better, I was told that I was crazy by many of my fellow athletes, but now they see me going into my junior year and they are speechless.

Now the day before my Junior year of football started i had an accident with a chainsaw while trying to help out around the house. I made a deep cut below my knee cap. I was not suppose to play for a couple of months but i kept at it and was playing again in 6 weeks, although battling against that injury greatly hindered my ability to play my coach still trusted in my ability and started me as middle linebacker.

Since that injury i have done nothing but progress. My squat is back up to 400 and I have never let an injury keep me down so i didnt start then. My 40 time is even faster than before.

                In my mind, I am never big enough, never fast enough, and never strong enough, so I am always working to get better! In my mind, our football team will never be, just good enough, we have to be the best! I will settle for no less, and the rest of my teammates know that about me. They know that I have huge expectations for our team this coming year, and that I am satisfied with no less than the playoffs!

                For now, my goals later in life include, going to the state playoffs in football, and going to the area meet in power lifting and track. I want to be the valedictorian of my graduating class and score so high on my SAT and ACT that any college will accept me! That’s only high school; my college goals include getting a scholarship to a college where I can study sports medicine, fitness and training. In college I dream of starting for the football team, and contributing my skills to the team in whatever way possible.

                Once out of college I want to pursue being an athletic trainer, it pains me to see people in public that are morbidly obese, and can barely carry themselves. I want to change that, in any way possible, big or small.

                That sums up my goals in life, I’ve been told that I’m crazy for wanting to do all that, but in my mind, it’s crazy for me not to want that. In my mind anything is possible with GOD, sweat and perseverance.
