Craig Kelso '17 Recruiting Profile

     My name is Craig Kelso and I am a driven athlete and student.  I have grown up in a family, surrounded by educators, and have always known that I will continue my education after high school ends.  The value of education and hard work have been impressed upon me my entire life.  At this point, I am in interested in studying business, but also love the sciences and history.

     Four years ago, I started playing football and absolutely fell in love with it.  Besides my size, I have been told that I am a natural.  I enjoy spending time with the coaches and know that working cohesively with my team members is what wins games!  I think there are two things that set me apart from other athletes.  First, I love to be physical and I love really good competition.  I know that a player is only as good as their competition and I want to be the very best.  I have a lot of "heart".  I never give up, I don't get intimidated and I listen to my coaches.  Second, I want to go to a really good university and I want to utilize the talent that I have on the field, to get me there.  Everyone has something to offer and some gift that they have been given to help them reach their goals.  I want to use my athletic ability, strength, heart and determination to help me open doors to my future.
