About Athlete

My name is Jack and I currently am rugby player for Rainey Old Boys in Magherafelt, Ireland. My objective for college is to become the best student athlete I can be and to improve myself in both studies and on field play. I am very passionate about getting a degree and feel like coming to America to continue that is the right step for both my academic and sporting aspects of my life.

What makes you different?

I am different because of the experience that I have at such a young age, playing at 1st XV level my entire life as well as playing alongside some ex-professional players that have helped me improve my game as well as teaching me smaller habits to incorporate into my game to be a better player.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I want to compete in collegiate sports as I have always loved taking part in new challenges. The collegiate system would allow me to put myself against the best players of my age and to see the standard in which I need to be at to be the best

College Goals?

My college goals are to play high standard of rugby to the best of my ability and to learn from coaches world wide as well as working towards and achieving my degree.
I would aim to be at the level of playing professional rugby in MLR.
Another goal would be make new connections with people from different backgrounds
