Personal Statement
Hello, My name is Tyler Smith, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself and why I believe I would be an excellent fit to your school and program.
I believe in family, faith and fellowship. Being a student athlete has allowed me to balance all three of these passions. With my faith, not only in my personal relationship with Christ, but my faith in my fellow teammates and friends. Family - I take great pride in my family and protect those in which I consider family. Family to me is not just the family you are born into, but I consider my teammates and close friends a part of my family as well. Fellowship, the camaraderie built with my teammates, coaches, friends, and family . These 3 attributes are at the core of who I am.
I envision my time in college to be the next step in my personal growth. My goal is to explore business and religious studies that will position me well for my future career plans. On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and positive influence on the team. As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my football career, I will strive to be an impact player both on and off the field. I will strive to be a leader and influencer within the locker room, and on campus.
