About Me:

Started 3 yrs varsity football, originally came from a D-6 in ohio(smallest in ohio) playing football and moved to a D-3(about twice to three times bigger) and started at inside linebacker. It took me awhile to get used to things. I gained 45 pounds and was up to 200 pounds my jr. yr. and was off to a great start. I played 3 games and had 46 tackles. The fourth game of the season in the first quarter I fractured by radius and split it in two. After six months of recovery and with a plate and six screws in my arm, I finally got to start lifting again and getting ready for my senior year. I worked very hard to get back into shape with my arms and legs very weak because I couldn't squat either. Before two-a-days I regainded my streangth after litterally days in the weight room and track with proper nutrition and rest to get my body in football shape. I worked up to a 280 pound bench and 450 pound squat. If I didn't have the setback of injury I defenately would have been allot stronger. I wanted to show people that injury and the tough times can be faught through and you can still acheive your dreams.The football recruiting process is new to my family and my school. Now at the end of the season of my senior year I would like to think I did all I could have done. Things didn't work out at all to the goals we set long before the season started. Allot of people were saying that my senior class at McClain was the best they had seen in 20 years. Injuries really set us back this season and the loss of one of our cheerleaders really hurt bad. We faught hard through the season and never gave up. I'm proud of the seniors here and we all know that the only thing that matters is what happens next. Performance is the only thing that matters in the end. Talk is cheap. Be An Eleven!
