Samuel Wilkes '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'3" 200 pounds offensive right tackle from Bellevue, Washington and I am a Freshman at Issaquah High School.  This year, I started on both the Issaquah High School Freshmen and JV team.  I currently have a 3.56 unweighted GPA / 4.06 weighted GPA.

As a three sport athlete in football, wrestling and lacrosse, I am used to hard work and challenging myself. I am looking for a smaller school so I can build stronger bonds with teammates and classmates.  At school I want to find the right balance between strong academics and competitive football. I would like to pursue a university with an outstanding academic reputation in the field of electrical/mechanical engineering. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one that values hard work and building each other up. I believe my best fit would be at the D2 or D3 level although I will absolutely consider all higher learning institution opportunities.

I want to play football in college because I believe it is the most physically demanding team sport and I want to be challenged both academically and physically.
