PERSONAL STATEMENT
I’ve often been described as an “old soul.” No matter who you are, you’ll receive a firm handshake when I greet you, and you’ll always hear, “Yes, sir; No, sir,” from me. I give respect, and I expect respect. I welcome a challenge – my biggest competitor is myself – always trying to improve my catches, routes, footwork, and mindset. Life has taught me that accepting defeat and owning my mistakes is always a step in the direction for improvement.
I hope to pursue a football scholarship at a D1 college with a good science program specializing in chemical engineering or another related career. My biggest role model is Brock Bowers, who attends the University of Georgia with his own hopes of becoming one of the best tight ends in college level. My aspirations are to run out on a college football field that God will harness into a successful future and a possible career.
If any doubt arises, please ask for the contact information of my Pee Wee, junior high, or high school level coaches, and they will confirm all that I have stated. I consider myself a good candidate with many attributes to offer: young, hardworking, disciplined, fearless, and committed; I’m willing to be a leader but not a “one man show.” Most importantly, I’m willing to learn and be a team player – I despise individuality because it takes a team working together to succeed.
