Elijah Bittel '21 Recruiting Profile

The details of my life that influenced who I am today is that, it all started when I had a hard life as a kid when my family and I didn't really have much in our lives. Through the years we kept on fighting and figuring out what's going to happen next in our life.  At the age of seven,  my dad and I where watching the Dallas Cowboys  take on the Washington Redskins. Towards the third quarter of the game, I told my dad that I wanted to play football instead of basketball.  Since my first year of my football, it has been my favorite sport since I was a kid. What I learned about myself through football is that football could be painful but fun at the same time. Football also taught me how to be respectful to adults and to have sportsmanship.

My academic goals for high school is to pass all my classes and get my high school diploma. My academic goals for college is to graduate college with a football career ahead of me. The obstacles I overcome to get where I am today is to take the hit and the pain when I'm on the football field, to get along with my teammates, to work with my team, and to not complain about getting hurt on the football team.
