Damien Costaes '25 Recruiting Profile

As a dedicated athlete from Mesick High School in Mesick, Michigan, I've embraced the challenge of not only excelling in football as a wide receiver but also venturing into track and field with a focus on the 110-meter hurdles, 4x400m relay, and 4x200m relay. Despite it being my first year in hurdles, I proudly achieved All-Area, All-Conference, and All-Region distinctions, earning a spot in the All-Star meet for the 110 hurdles. My journey in sports is anchored in faith, as I run not only for personal achievement but also for Jesus, my Lord and Savior, as Psalm 27:1 guides me: "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?"
