My name is Emmanuel Boakye. I was originally born in Brooklyn, New York in May 22 1993 until my father became a full time minister which made us move to Columbus, Ohio in 2002. Columbus may be the place where you can say i first learned how to play football. When i started playing football i played O line and D line(pop Warner and middle school football.) and i was scared of contact. My coaches did not give me the chance to show my self when i thought i was getting better they treated me like trash. One teacher said “Emmanuel you have no chance in the NFL…you suck” which makes me stronger every time i hit the dirt on the field.As I progressed and joined camps, I got tougher and muscular which got me to play the running back position. When i played running back i wasn’t scared of contact anymore and scored or gained yardage every time i got the ball. I then fell in love with the linebacker position which made me meaner in my offense (running the ball and blocking) and more aware of how to run when i got on offense. Football to me is the world and one day i dream to go to a Division 1 school and get drafted to the NFL.

In ma sophomore year Ive been recognized in defense the most…for making the hardest hits and foce fumbling most of the time.

o yea i love to joke around…haha

I’m a sophomore at Burncoat high school. I start on JV as a running back and outside linebacker. I have highlights of me doing big things on defense and offense. On Varsity i play outside linebacker once in a blue moon. But i play second string running back and got 30 varsity yards against schools that play harder than we did.If i played on a team that had a strong line i no i would’ve had more. I work out everyday after school and train myself in my basement so that i could get the spot next year.
