Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Ridge Mills and I am very interested in playing college football. Currently my aspirations are to take Criminal Justice and become an officer on the state or federal level of law enforcement. I'm a good candidate for your team because I love the game of football. I was a Captain on both Junior Varsity and Varsity and played some Varsity Games during my sophomore year. I have been a starting defensive end my freshman thru junior years at high school. I led the district in sacks during my junior year. I was moved to starting linebacker this year by our new coach and was leading in tackles in my district after the first three games. However, my coaches thought I could play any position therefore moved me to starting right tackle when our starter went out due to an injury. By moving me to offense, I wasn't allowed to continue playing as much defense, therefore I lost the lead in district tackles. I was player of the game this year when I only played 5 series on defense and had the most tackles in the game as well as highest ranked OLine percentage. I was also defensive player of the game this year. I am committed to improving myself every day through weight lifting and conditioning by seeing a trainer and working out. I was raised on a farm, and I was taught the meaning of discipline and hard work. I'm a great team player and a very coachable player. I'm an A/B student with a GPA of 3.9. I strive to be successful in the classroom as well as on the field. I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
