Personal Statement

I am Mitchell Lawless from a small down of about 13,000 people in central illinios called Streator. Growing up football was always a big part of my life which has kept me busy through the years trying to get better to make sure I can go as far as I possibly can whether it's D1, D2 or D3. It has been a dream of mine ever since I was a small child watching ISU play football games on Saturday to play college football. I have attended Kohls long snapping camps , in December I competed in the Kohls winter showcase, I also attended the Kohls Scholarship Camp this summer.  My profile and film for long snapping can be seen by clicking on My Kohls Profile.   I intend to continue my longsnapping training.   In addition I have spent my offseason preparing attending many college camps focusing on linebacker and dedicating myself to the weight room.  

I was a JV starter both sides and was 2nd string inside linebacker and center on the varsity football squad at Woodland High School (1A- FCW Coop) my freshman year.   My sophomore year I started both sides on the varsity squad playing outside linebacker, center and long snapper.  My junior year I started both sides on varsity playing outside linebacker, center/guard and long snapper.  My senior year I am also starting on both sides of the ball playing center, long snapper, and moving to inside linebacker this year.   I was also chosen by the staff at Kohls Kicking as a finalist for week 4 "National High School Player of the Week".

My passion for football has kept me focused  both in school and in preparing for the game.  I feel I would be an asset to any team I play for.  I look forward to moving to the next level after high school.
