Brendan Heatherman '23 Recruiting Profile

    Before I entered high school, I had one goal in mind as my next stepping stone in my football career.  Having played since I was very young, I wanted to compete at the Varsity level in my freshman year of high school.  That off-season I took no shortcuts and as always had a great attitude leading into the season.  My coaches refer to me as a “workhorse”.   This mindset transferred both onto the field and into the classroom.  My freshman year (2016) I made the Varsity team and had a great time playing, despite the adversity of team injuries.  This year (2017), my sophomore year, I am starting TE for my high school football team.   I am a conscientious student making straight A’s.  I also enjoy competing on our high school’s basketball team and work year-round preparing myself both physically and mentally for the next football season. 

    I believe college isn’t about the next 4 years, it is about the next 40 years.  The feedback I most often receive from my teachers and coaches is that I am a student who displays a good attitude, team work and commitment.  I have a very strong work ethic and I enjoy being part of my school, team, and local community.  I want to find a college where I can play football and contribute to the success of the team and but also where I can achieve my academic goals for my future.
