To tell a little bit about myself I'm coming from Colorado Springs CO and a high school called palmer. In CO we are known as an offensive powerhouse. We currently have 2 players at D1 schools. One is Eryck Allen a WR at oklahoma state and a starting RB at Colorado Uninversity, Bobby Purify. But anyways my senior season was cut short as in the 2nd game of the season i tore my meniscus in my left leg and had to recieve immediate surgery. I didn't return untill the 9th game of a 10 game regular season, and our team wasn't going to the playoffs because 1/2 our starters became injured. However, CB is my natural position but i played RB for the 1st 2 games of the season and accumulated 260 yds. rushing. Our players on our team can only play on one side of the ball and the reason why i played RB instead of CB in the begining is because our starter injured himself and i was moved from the secondary to RB. When i returned from surgery i was put back on D. I would like to be a RB at VT but if the 2ndary is my spot then ill take it and run with it. Aside from that, before choosing VT i almost went to Columbia U in NY to play football or a few other D1aas but thats cuz i didnt fully get to show my potential as a senior and i won't lie i wasn't amazing as a junior. I was also accepted at NC state but after i visited VT i fell in love with it. So im hoping all my ball busting training this summer will pay off. I know the odds of a walk-on getting a ship or starting on the team is slim but im determined and im a work horse and i'll demand my respect when i get on the field am willing to work as hard as possible to achieve that goal of mine and i also feel this is the perfect time to be a walk on with all the offseason chaos that VT has been struck with. But i gtg thanks for listening to me. Talk to everyone soon. Peace!
