What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
I am a multi-sport athlete playing varsity in all 3 since my freshman year. I have the desire to continue to excel both in the classroom and on the field and I put in the work it takes. I was named USA Today player of the week for my all around performance in a football game where I punted averaging 50+yards, had two key interceptions, threw for a touchdown, caught a pass for a touchdown, and ran a kick off back for a TD. I am versatile on the field and can play wherever anyone puts me.
Ackles is a good all-around athlete who plays on both sides of the football. He has a rangey body which makes him a serious threat to go up and make a play in jump ball situations. Ackles runs with authority, shows a good stiff arm and absorbs contact nicely. He is a hard worker in the weight room, winning state for Class A weight lifting at 171-180, and that hardwork should translate over to the next level. Really like how physical he plays the game, and think he could be an possession WR or play safety at the next level.
All around beast….
CJ is the most versatile player I have seen in class A football. He refuses to let anyone get the best of him and will always do what is best for his team. He started for 3 years at WR and 4 years at CB. His senior year he was moved to QB because he had to have the football in his hands. From that position CJ lead the Mt. Zion Eagles to their first ever 10 win season and first ever semifinal appearance. He was voted Region 6A player of the year over a couple of big time division 1 commits. He was also a key factor in the kicking game as he consistently pinned opponents deep in their own territory with his punting. CJ is the most fierce competitor I have known and he truly deserves an opportunity to play big time college football.
