AJ Covert '13 Recruiting Profile

I am 6' tall and weigh 207 pounds.  I run a 4.8 40 yard dash and a 4.3 short shuttle.  My bench maximum at this time is 315 pounds.    My goal is to continue to improve my strength and quickness and play college football. I took the ACT in early April of 2012 and scored a 27 overall.  I have been a part of our football team's Players Council each year, which is determined by earning the most player points through practice, community service and participation in team events. Last season I served as defensive captain, team chaplain and led the team in sacks and tackles for loss.

I am a 2 time invitee to the National Underclassman Combine (NUC) Ultimate 100 for the midwest. Last July at this event I was rated the #3 linebacker and invited to the NUC Top Prospect Camp at the University of OK.  I recently earned the linebacker MVP award at the NUC in Lexington, KY. This season was my first as a high school wrestler.  I qualified for the state tournament in the 220 pound weight class.  I am competitive, aggressive and not afraid to work.
