I completed my hours back in October but I still continued to follow the FAU football team. The last home game was against The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders and I was not able to attend due to an illness. When an illness is present, that person is not allowed anywhere near the facility because it can place the coaches, staff and players at risk of becoming ill. It was not required of my hours to attend since I did complete my time but I kept a commitment to the team and staff to continue the season with them. Everyone was notified of me being ill and I stayed in constant communication. I even have continued to assist from home with simple assignments on spread sheet organizing some recruiting information or basic information that does not violate any NCAA rules or place anyone in jeopardy of any penalties. I enjoyed my time and learned a lot about college football in the office and on the field. I stated before but I will again that this experience confirmed my career path but guided me towards collegiate over professional football. I enjoyed speaking with recruits but also realized how much of a mentor I can be to our youth which one day will be our future leaders. I never had the mentorship guidance while making a college decision since I was injured but I have learned enough to help guide a younger student athlete looking to make their next step into college. The team finished with a record of 3-9 and finished with a victory over Old Dominion (33-31). It is always positive to finish with a victory but the team had a defining moment the week before (November 21st) by almost upsetting the number 8 ranked team in the country on their home turf, The Florida Gators. The Swamp is one of the top 25 toughest stadiums to play and the Owls gave the Gators all the could handle by having to beat the owls in overtime. I still stay in communication with Graham while they are recruiting because I am interested in knowing who they end up signing when it comes to National Signing Day. I am on the job search as well and hoping I can land a position. My top three programs are FAU, USF, and Miami. I am pretty open to any college to work with but these set three that I will try my hardest to attain a position with.
