About Ryan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a physical wide receiver who combines speed with disciplined route running. With exceptional hands and a high football IQ, I excel at getting open and utilizing space effectively. I am reliable in traffic and consistently make catches over the middle. I was named to the All-State, All-Area, and All-Conference teams as a sophomore.

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

I am highly competitive and determined to win. As a leader, I hold myself to high standards both on the field and in the classroom. I am driven to be the best I can be.

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

I coach the WRs for the Jr Skyhawks 6th grade team and I coach our little dribblers program for basketball.

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

As a sophomore, I was honored to be voted a leader by our coaches for the varsity team. I oversee a group of JV and varsity players, ensuring they stay motivated, informed, and ready to compete, especially in the weight room. Additionally, my mom and I volunteer at the local food bank each year to help feed those in need.

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

In middle school I had to overcome Dyslexia by taking special classes and getting additional help.

What type of college are you looking for?

One that runs a spread offense, has great facilities, and has an engineering department or medical. I also want to play for a college that wants me and can utilize my skillset.
