Erik Simpson '14 Recruiting Profile

My dreams, goals and aspirations are much like those of any young man growing up in the inner city. I want to be successful with a great career, start a wonderful family, and maintain a life that exceeds the expectation of one who has lived in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio.

My number one goal is to use football as a catalyst  to get a quality education. Getting a college degree has always been a major goal of mine.  My future depends on my education, because I desire to have a career that will allow me to live a quality life.  One that will take care of my family and me.

My aspiration for life is simple, to seize every opportunity that is presented as I journey the path of becoming a Man.  I will be presented with choices, which will eventually require me to make decisions that will eventually lead me to my place in life.  I will be a successful Man who stands, “patient, poised, and seizes every opportunity for success.”  (The Ginn Academy Creed)  I will be patient enough to stay focused as I balance my education, my college football career, and any opportunities that are presented in my life. 

Please continue to follow me throughout out my final years of high school and consider me as an athlete for your 2014 College football roster.  Please click on this link to view my current football video footage: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1045906/highlights/20772379
