Tyler Rapp '17 Recruiting Profile

It is my goal to attend a competitive college that will challenge me intellectually and athletically.  I plan to major in business.  While at college, I also want to meet a wide variety of people and have a solid group of friends.  Being on a team would help to fulfill that goal.  I would also like to be a scholarship athlete.  Academics are a priority for me and I find that when I’m playing a sport, I am more successful in the classroom.  It forces me to manage my time more efficiently and I feel more focused when I’m active.  I would make a strong candidate for your team because I am a strong leader, I am competitive, and I am definitely a bit of a perfectionist.  In the classroom, I compete with my peers to do the best that I can and on the field the fierce competition fuels my desire to push myself to continue to achieve higher goals.  I will never settle for average.  I also try to motivate the players around me through communication and leading by example.  Leadership is part of my life both on and off the field.  In school I have been granted special appointment of Command Sergeant Major, one of only two in my grade.  This rank allows me to be the leader of the Color Guard and I am in charge of all Color Guard activities.  This separates me from my peers because I have been given the responsibility to make sure that neither I nor others around me fail.  Similar to an athletic team, we work together to achieve every success.
