PERSONAL STATEMENT
My dad introduced me to sports at a very young age. Sports have always been and will always be a passion of mine. I am extremely proud of the life lessons sports has taught me, such as working as a unit to pursue a goal and the amazing sense of accomplishment from achieving that goal.

PERSONAL INFORMATION		  
Describe Your Playing Style?: As a senior I performed on both sides of the ball starting on offense and defense. I played wide receiver on offense and free safety on defense. On offense I had 25 receptions for a little over 300 yards and 5 touchdowns. I take exceptional pride in running precise routes. I have good speed. I am considered a possession receiver but I can definitely get open deep. I am not afraid to go over the middle to make a play when my team needs it. I am extremely versatile witnessed by my two touchdowns on a wide receiver reverse and a wide receiver screen. On defense I played free safety. I was afforded the duties of calling the defenses making reads and putting my teammates in their proper position. I lead our team with six interceptions and four fumble recoveries. I can play all aspects of the position whether it is in coverage, running sideline to sideline or playing closer to the line of scrimmage.
Personal Statement: My dad introduced me to sports at a very young age. Sports have always been and will always be a passion of mine. I am extremely proud of the life lessons sports has taught me, such as working as a unit to pursue a goal and the amazing sense of accomplishment from achieving that goal. I’ve developed friendships with coaches and teammates that will last a lifetime. I am a leader whether it is vocally or by example. I understand that in order to join any university one must exhibit qualities such as morals, ethics, hard work, determination and an unrelenting drive to get back up when you are knocked down. Those lessons, as well as others, were instilled in me very early on. I can only promise that if selected to represent your university I will execute the above to the fullest of my ability and will be a student athlete you can be proud of. I thank you for considering me and look forward to hearing from you soon. - Devin
