BROOKLYN, NY
I like to write poetry in my spare time. I have a large frame, but have only played soccer and basketball at the varsity level. I've been told by everyone that I should be playing football. I'm open to the idea if a college will take a chance and mold me into the player they want and need to compliment their team. I love the outdoors from my time in the Boy Scouts. I'm also a strong swimmer with a very good backstroke. I swam on the team at the Bedford Avenue Y for two years. I spent a summer at Camp Timanous and won second place in the swim race as well as became a sharp shooter!
