About Eric
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I would describe my gameplay style as a pocket passer and an improviser. When a play breaks down, I’m able to move receivers and make a play with my arm or get yards scrambling. From the pocket, I’m confident making any throw under pressure. Being a baseball pitcher as well, I also pride myself on throwing accuracy.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I am a motivated calm player that doesn't make a moment bigger than it is. I have a short memory and don’t dwell on the past, and I believe that you can only control the controllables.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
Unfortunately, I haven't been in other clubs or organizations because most of my time has been training for and competing in two sports. I have recently found a part-time job that has allowed me a ton of flexibility around football and baseball. My busy schedule has taught me discipline, teamwork, and time management.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I have developed patience and consistency playing behind a 4 year starter and understanding that you have to earn your stripes. As a leader, I’ve developed by playing both football and baseball by motivating my teammates to go all in for this upcoming season to help us win a state championship.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
Yes, competing at cherry creek high school is a challenge in itself, having to realize that your likely not gonna start as a freshman. I think being a backup QB makes you learn so much, and I think I have improved greatly having our previous starter being my mentor. It is humbling, but learning to be patient and not run away from problems makes you a better person in all aspects of life.
What type of college are you looking for?
I'm interested in going to a school on the west coast and my personal goal is to play for a D1 university in either football or baseball. I'm trying to maximize my opportunities from the 2 sports I have played and loved since early childhood.
