jamal trotman '16 Recruiting Profile

Coming from a foreign country into new country was definitely a hard transformation. I tried everything I play basketball, I played soccer, I even tried tennis. None of these sport worked, I eventually started playing football and I loved it. For me football is more than a game I'd consider it to be a lifestyle, it motivates me in everything i do in and out the classroom. In the 4 years I've been playing football i became more matured and focused in the classroom.In these four years I've accomplished a lot, last year I was named defensive MVP for my team. But this was no cake walk,There would be days I sit watching film for hours then practice different techniques to become a better player and person. Last summer I attended NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) which not only thought me leadership but it thought me responsibility and giving back to the community is important. I currently have an 84 average in the first semester of my Junior year. By the end of my senior year I'm aiming for at least a 85 average. 

For me football is more than a game I work hard every day in the wee room and in the classroom. With hard work it led me to be named as an All-State Linebacker. In the classroom I was named honor roll student, all the classes I take are either AP classes are honors classes.

For me to play college football that will definitely be a big milestone in my life. I think whatever program I get to play for I will bring leadership commitment to excellence resilience and effort every day in the classroom and on the football field.
