Matthew Montgomery '17 Recruiting Profile

For many years, I have dreamed of playing college football.  I have always aspired to play at the Division 1 or 2 level, and I've always wanted to play on scholarship.  Football has always been a big part of my life, and my love for the game is what makes me strive to work hard and be the best I can be.  When I play, I can promise 100% effort on every play, from the snap of the ball to the play ending whistle.  I will play hard no matter what, and I will play hard every play.  I take constructive criticism well, and I always listen to what coaches have to say that will make me a better player.  I do what I am asked to do every down, and I do it to the best of my ability.   I am also able to use technique well, knowing that the low man always wins on the line of scrimmage.  With that, I am always trying to help other teammates with aspects of the game that they struggle with, and I will always pick someone up rather than put them down.   In the classroom, I am very motivated and enjoy to learn new things, and will give my best effort on every assignment, quiz, test, or project assigned to me.  I am a natural leader, and understand how I need to hold myself accountable for my actions on the field and in the school, because I understand that others look up to me.  I love the game of football, and have been working hard for many years to play at the collegiate level.  No matter what, I will work hard, on and off the field.
