Grant Leichter '18 Recruiting Profile

    My name is Grant Leichter, and I am currently a Senior at Barrington High School in Illinois.  At my school, I am a member of Broncos Committed. This is the drug and alcohol free program.  Also, I was nominated and I accepted membership into P.A.C.T (Peers All Coming Together), which aims to positively impact school culture and develop leadership skills by means of involvement, team building, participation, and group discussion. I always take pride in making the right decisions. I first became interested in football when I was in the first grade. I was introduced to the sport by my father who is still my number one supporter today. Throughout my career, whether it was in youth or high school,  football has had a major impact on my life. To me, football is a sport that helps you just as much off the field, if not more than on it. I have learned to be a better man, better teammate, and to be held accountable. When my football career is long over with, the lessons I have learned from the game will help carry me for the rest of my life.  Academics are my number one priority and always have been. Currently, I sit at a 4.29 GPA, and I will continue to work hard throughout my senior year.  My ACT composite score is a 29, while my Superscore is a 31. Being able to continue my athletic career at a high quality school, would be a dream come true. Education is the most important thing that I look for. I am a driven person who is accountable, coachable, respectful, and most importantly a hard worker. I learn from my mistakes and the obstacles I endure, and continue to try and be the best I can be everyday.
