My name is Garrett Wooten and I am 6'4" lineman for Normal Community High School (NCHS) in Bloomington, IL. Currently, a junior and will graduate in the class of 2013. My current cumulative GPA is 4.45 (5.0 scale) and with an ACT score of 29 super score and best one day score of 28.

I have been voted “captain” for the upcoming 2012 season by my teammates. This year as a junior, I was the starting NT in a “3-4” scheme. Out team went 7-3 and were unfortunately eliminated in the playoffs. I had the honor of being named 2011 Big 12 All- Conference First Team Defensive Linemen and 2011 Pantagraph All-Area Football Team. The Pantagraph wrote, “two-year starter commanded a lot of attention from opposing blockers.” I have also been named Big12 All Academic Team 2009, 2010 and 2011.

I am also the first team long snapper and play defensive and offensive tackle. I really enjoy playing on the defensive line and NT, but just love being a linemen! My favorite position on the offense line is center as I take pleasure in the extra responsibility and leadership role. I had the opportunity to be a two year starter and lettermen. As a freshman, played 3 games on the freshman team, 2 games on junior varsity and was then moved up to varsity squad at the end of the season.

I am motivated to work hard on and off the field in hopes of making a significant contribution to my team in the next year as a senior. I am also a three year varsity lettermen in wrestling at the heavy weight class (285). I am looking forward to this summer's football camps, off season speed training, weightlifting and long snapping camps.

I am looking for an opportunity to pursue my education as a scholarship student athlete at an institute that provides the right balance of academics and athletics. In addition to football, I have a passion for pursuing an academic curriculum in areas of study to include math and science leading to careers in medicine, sport medicine and/or engineering. I am open any type of institution anywhere in the country to achieve my goals.

I am a team player, leader and person of integrity on and off the field. Playing football is a gift that you cannot take for granted because it can be taken away from you in the next play. The ultimate goal of a high school football player is to play in college and to get a college degree. When I play my last down of my high school career, I want no regrets and have created an opportunity to follow my dreams. Coach, If given the opportunity, I will be a person of charter who will excel on and off the field. I will not let my team, the institution or YOU down! This I promise and YOU will have no regrets!
