Robert Benton '17 Recruiting Profile

It is my goal to go to college, earn a degree, and be a productive citizen in society. I dream of being a college athlete and hopefully that will be how I pay for my college education. I would be a great candidate for a collegiate team because I first understand the importance of being a 'Student' athlete. I am brought up in a home where grades are a priority and I cannot participate in what I enjoy doing unless my grades are above average.  So I work just as hard in the classroom as I do on the field. That's what makes me different. I don't mind focusing on and having good grades.

My character is based on the Christians values taught by my parents. I do not have any disciplinary issues. I'm harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. I like trying to get things right the first time, but if I don't, I try hard at getting it right. It doesn't matter if it math problem or running a route, I want to do it right. I enjoy having fun and being around people that enjoy having a clean good time.

Athletically, I try hard and give it my all. The one thing that I have that can't be measured is heart.I like being in a position to make a play and help my team. I'm constantly working on my speed and strength to make up for I may lack in size.  Bottom line is I'm just looking for a chance to contribute.
