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

I’m currently involved in a Citizen’s Fire Academy, where I go once a week for four hours to learn more about firefighting and emergency response. This experience has helped me develop a deeper understanding of teamwork and the skills needed to be successful in the field. It’s also reinforced my passion for pursuing a career as a firefighter.

Through football, I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills. I’ve learned how important it is to lead by example and always be there for my teammates.

These qualities will help me in my future career as a firefighter, where teamwork and leadership are essential.

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

One challenge I’ve faced is balancing academics and football. Staying on top of my studies while giving my all on the field has taught me a lot about time management and discipline. This experience has made me stronger and more focused on my goals.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a strong football program that values hard work, discipline, and teamwork. It’s important that my family can attend games, but I’m open to a school further away if the program is a great fit for my goals.
