Jonathan Anderson '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'2" 260 pound offensive and defensive lineman from New Market, Tennessee.  I have started for the Jefferson County High School football team on Junior Varsity for the past 3 years on both offense and defense.  I have played football since I was 8 years old.  Even at 8 years old I knew that my goal was to play football at the college level and beyond if possible.  Playing football at the college level would be a dream come true for me.  I would not take the once in a lifetime opportunity lightly because playing collegiate ball would be an opportunity that would change my life.

My goal for any team I play for is to help my team in any possible way.  I am a good candidate because I never quit, I always give it all I've got, and play as hard as I can.  I am constantly working to better myself as a player.  I not only train with my team, but I also train by myself or with a trainer to help me become a better player by getting bigger, faster, and stronger.  I feel as if I am a team leader, by leading by example and encouraging all of my teammates both on and off of the field.  I am very coachable player and I strive to be one of the hardest working players both on and off the field and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.  I believe that given the chance I can surprise people with how coachable I am, my heart, and my love for the game of football. 

I have the same work ethic in the classroom as I do on the field.  I have maintained a GPA of 3.3, as well as playing three sports.  I am currently a member of a variety of different clubs such as the beta club, technical honor's society, and the junior rodder's club.
I want to attend a college where I can push myself both in the classroom and on the football field.  I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible.

I hope to become a great role model to all my peers in college and for former classmates that look up to me.  I want to succeed in college both in the classroom and on the football field to make my parents proud, because they have always supported me and I know that no matter what they will continue to do so.
