Jermaine Ebo '23 Recruiting Profile

I am interested in attending a college that would allow me to pursue my love of football and explore three potential career paths that I have an interest in learning more about.  My academic interests include Business/Sports Management, AV Communications, and Exercise Physiology.  I believe these three areas will allow me to stay close to the sport I love while preparing for a career as an athlete or athletic professional. 

I have made a lifelong commitment to staying physically active. I have played football since I was six years old, basketball in middle school, and my freshman year and  I have an interest in Golf. I have played Varsity football all four years playing at defensive end, linebacker, outside linebacker, guard, and tackle.  This year, I am leading the defense as Captain and I hope to take the ball and gain experience as a fullback. 

I attend a school that has a declining football program. Enrollment, lack of investment, and the popularity of the sport have impacted the program.  Being a part of a struggling team has taught me that nothing in life comes easy. Hard work, teamwork, and persistence have contributed to the young man I am becoming. My family and I love football, from the diversity of the players to the life lessons it teaches you including respect, sportsmanship, time management, discipline, and communication skills. 

There are three things that would make me a good fit for any college that chooses to invest in my future, I am strong in my faith, I put God first in everything, I am coachable and willing to play wherever the team needs me, and I am a role model both on and off the field. I currently work part-time with elementary school kids as an assistant teacher. I love helping others gain knowledge and make good decisions. 

I have learned that I love competing.  I have played competitive sports at a very young age and it has taught me that to be successful in life it requires dedication, discipline, and character.
