Junior Akintunde '23 Recruiting Profile
Video
2017 JV Soph High...2016 Highlights Personal Statement
My name is Junior Akintunde. I have always dreamed of being the best at everything I do. Ever since I've started playing football in 6th grade. I've always thought about playing college football and possibly taking it further to the league. I hear my parents now complaining about helping my brother pay for college. If I was able to get a scholarship anywhere it would make one of my many dreams come true. I would hate for my parents to suffer in their old age help paying for college.
What makes me a good candidate for your team is my work ethic. I wouldn't say I'm the best athlete but I will be flexible and be ready to play anywhere. If you need me to play right guard, I will be up to challenge and will try my hardest to be the best at what I do.
What makes me different from other recruits? My character says it all. I am a quiet kid but when it comes to a challenge, expect me to the the one to stand out! I strive for continuous improvement and won't let anyone outwork me. Same thing with my athletics. I WILL NOT anyone outwork me!
Education is always important to me. I will keep my knowledge forever as football won't be there forever. I am always ready to succeed in class. Not every subject in easy for me but I will try my hardest to understand ans succeed in the classroom
