Eric Samuta '17 Recruiting Profile

I have just completed my Junior Year as a Varsity Starting LB during which our team went undefeated (14-0) in route to a 7A State Championship football season. I have a true love of the game of football and love working with my teammates and coaches to be the best we can be as a team.

I am a versatile athlete, having played three sports and multiple positions on my varsity football team; LB, NT, and Special Teams. I have a strong desire to be an impact player for my coaches & teammates by working hard each off-season to get bigger, faster, and stronger. During each season my focus is on continuing to grow my knowledge for my position to allow me to play fast.  

Outside of athletics I maintain a challenging academic schedule including Advance Placement & Honors classes. In addition, I volunteer for community projects including Habit for Humanity and World Relief.     

My collegiate goals are to further my career in football while obtaining a great education as well. I will bring an attitude of unselfishness, strong teammate, versatility to play multiple positions on the field, and I will work as hard as possible at any position I am assigned for the benefit of my team.
