Drake Thornton '20 Recruiting Profile

I am Matthew Drake Thornton. My friends and family call me Drake. I believe I would make a good candidate for any college team because of my leadership skills on and off the field. My passion is sports, but I also know my grades come first. When I hit the field, its like I'm in a whole new world, it's just me and my brothers (my team). I am always willing and ready to learn new things on the field. Win or loose, after every game I know I did my best and walk off the field with my head held high. Don't get me wrong, I've cried with my team over losses before, none of us are perfect, and we all play with our hearts. Academically, I am a B student, I'm never afraid to ask a question if I don't understand something. I'm a Sophomore this year and am looking forward to next year. I have thought about engineering, but I'm sure I'll make a decision on a college major soon. At this point in my life, my main goal and focus is to complete high school and get into a good college where I can continue my dream to play football at a college level and hopefully move to professional football. My mom has always told me to shoot for the stars, and that's what I'm doing.

I look forward to talking to you. Thank you for your interest in me.
