Curtis Straup '22 Recruiting Profile

Football is a game of mental and physical toughness that prepares you for life. The game teaches you to be mindful of your surroundings, embrace a culture, be supportive of your coaches/teammates, and develop strong relationships with multiple people. Once you accomplish this you grow to become the best you can be. Football for me is about growing as an individual. 

Playing college ball for me means doing something that very few people get an opportunity to do and I would be the first in my family to be a college athlete. I am prepared for this next step because of my strong family support, I am coachable, hardworking, and realize the sacrifice it will take. To me, this is a small price when you look at the benefits of playing college ball. I will become stronger mentally, tougher physically, and prepared to tackle the tough challenges that I may face as an adult.
