Austin Avery '17 Recruiting Profile

My primary goal in college is to get my degree and learn the necessary life skills to work and live in everyday life after school. One way is to take everything my parents have taught me and apply it to my current situations and learn for myself the way of life on my own. Also, The ups and downs and challenges of college classes will teach me about persevering and working hard for something. My degree will add education needed for my career, but I believe more life lessons can be learned in football than anywhere else. Developing a relationship with coaches and teammates teaches you so much about people and how you will need to build relationships with your co-workers and bosses. Football also teaches you about hardwork, how to deal with adversity, goal setting and so much more. I love the game not only for the fun and excitement but also for the lessons learned. I want to be surrounded with teammates and coaches that share my hard work ethic and love for the game. A team who can get there work done on the field while also getting it done in the classroom. College dictates the rest of your life and team that understands that is the team I'm looking for.
