About Langston

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is down hill and sideline to sideline. I am aone cut running back that runs fast and hits hard across the field. I tackle with intent and run with focus on getting yards. I try to move the sticks with each carry and will fight for extra yards. I do not run out of bounds and am able to catch out the backfield, lead block and pick up blitzers.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am extremely competitive and confident in my ability to get better daily. My goal is to shut down my side of the field on defense and finish tackles. I enjoy blocking on offense and during interception run backs. Special Teams is also an area I enjoy on kickoff and as a returner. As a running back I seek contact and am a one cut back. One person should rarely bring me down.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I received multiple AVID, GPA and school character awards.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I am a team player. I cheer my teammates and want them to be successful. I trust them and hold myself accountable for my job on the field so my teammates can trust me. I am a tone setter on the field. My team follows my lead for hard aggressive play.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I faced academic challenges in elementary abd early middle school due to teaching deficits. I overcame those through 1:1 work with my mom and dedicating myself to a fixed schedule for homework. Another significant challenge will be not having my older brother at home. He is heading to college. I will not have him there daily for advice and support.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that has a good academic program in addition to a good athletic network. The school must have my major in Sports Management or Business with an emphasis in Sports Management. I hope to join a college that promotes student athlete. I am a student first and plan to graduate before entering the NFL.
