Keegan Hurst '17 Recruiting Profile

I am part of a team who knows how to win at the 6A level (largest in Indiana).  My sophomore year I started at Offensive Tackle--we went undefeated in the regular season and lost by a point in Semi-State.  My junior year,  I was added to Defense a week before the season began and played both ways.  I started at defensive tackle and we made it to the 6A state championship game.

What sets me apart is my ability to adapt and my work ethic.  As I mentioned, I completely learned a new position in a matter of weeks--I am a fast learner.  I also know what it means to work.  I wake up at 5:30 every morning to weight train, lift again after school,  and train with an Olympic lifting coach on Saturdays.  I train 6 out of 7 days a week,  4 of which are double duty days.  I am willing to put in the hard work if it means getting results. When I am not training,  I am studying in order to maintain my 4.2/4.0 GPA.

Other aspects that set me apart from other players is my character and involvement in the community.  I am an active member of NHS,  founded and run a political club at my High School,  and was recently awarded my Eagle scout.  I also attend church 6 out of 7 days a week.  I strive to be a model student in and out of the classroom/on and off the field.  I know what winning takes and I am willing to put in the time and work.
