Lorenz Sykes '21 Recruiting Profile

Football has become an important part of me growing into positive young leader in my community.  I started playing football when I was 8 years old for Jimmy Lee at Oxford Community Center.  Over the years as I have grown into loving football it has helped me realize my true potential on and off the field.  I feel I am a student of the game, which is helping me be a good student in the classroom.  I am a leader; which I believe that the decision I make in life reflects others and my ability to lead, so I strive to make good choices in all the things I do.  I realize I am a student/athlete and my ticket for my future is to do good in the classroom and on the field.  Therefore, I study both and continue to raise my ceiling to be the best I can be.

My goals are not just about football; one day I want to deliver babies.  My dream is to make it to college and do what I love which is play football and also obtain a degree so one day I can be in the delivery room.  Therefore, whatever school I attend, I plan on staying all four years to develop in all areas academically and athletically.  What a team is going to get from me is a teachable and focus player who continues to climb towards his ceiling of success.  I am a teachable leader who at every level will strive to learn as much as he can to play at highest performance level.
