Benton Whitley '17 Recruiting Profile

In my near future I envision myself attending college and playing football at the highest and most competitive level while also pursing my future career in Bio-medical studies. I am currently working to reach my goals by constantly motivating myself to work harder in all aspects of my life, pushing myself to my limits in the offseason, working hard in the classroom and surrounding myself with positive people and friends that will help me stay in line. I am currently a 4x honor roll student by semester as a sophomore along with being a starter on the 2014 varsity football team at Minnechaug. During the winter I wrestle and am currently a 2x western mass place winner, a division 1 state finalist, all state place winner and a New England tournament qualifier. I believe that wrestling improves me as a football player by keeping me in shape off season and helping my diet stay clean. I am hoping after my hard work in the offseason to make an impact in my junior year of football and lead my football team to the state title in the 2015 football season.
