Personal Statement

My collegiate goal is to earn a bachelor's degree in sports broadcasting and marketing while playing football and putting forth a lot of hard work. I am a good candidate for any team, because I put everything I have in me into how I play on the field. I have learned to deal with adversity when it comes my way. I take my academics more seriously and I am working hard to improve everyday in that area. I differ from other candidates by having an outgoing, magnetic personality. I am known to make a lasting impression with my humor. I work hard to achieve goals set before me, in the classroom and on the field.

Events

Camp/Event
Rivals New Speed Combine
4/29/17 to 4/29/17
Very first combine that I was ever invited to. Competed against the best of the best, but felt like I held my own. Most of these players were from much larger schools and teams than mine, so it was a true honor just to be included in this combine. I did not advance to the camp the next day, but I did come away knowing the areas that I needed to improve on. So overall it was a very good learning experience for me.
Camp/Event
Friday Night Lights Camp
7/15/16 to 7/15/16
One of the best camps that I have attended. I plan to attend this camp again next year. I came away from this camp with a lot of valuable information to use in the upcoming season.
