Varsity HighlightsPersonal Statement
I started playing flag football at the age of seven. When I joined my town's football team at the age of twelve I had to work twice as hard to compete at that level, and I have not stopped. My high school team was a run-first offense. I made the most of the opportunities when the ball came my way finishing the season with 18 receptions for 489 yards. I am able to maintain a GPA of 4.0 while working at a movie theater, a little league umpire, and tutoring classmates while playing football and baseball. Over the summers I attended several football camps, and clinics while working out with the football team on the field and in the weight room.
Watching my cousins play football for their college has been a great inspiration for me. I have always loved being a team member and will work my hardest to take it to the next level. I continue to push myself in school as well as in the gym and on the track. I strive to get bigger, stronger and increase my speed and improve my agility. I am confident there is a spot for me on a college football roster.
