Darrius Saunders

Verified Athlete

I’ve been playing football, basketball, and track since I was five years old. I learned that having a high “football IQ” has enabled me to play offense and defense; wherever my coaches need to me, I can fulfill their expectations. DB/CB/OLB/RB are my current positions.I am a sprinter, high and long jumper on the varsity track team. I am the eldest son of an African American father and Polish mother, who have given me a strong work ethic. They’ve supported me focusing on obtaining a college education. As such, I have mentored other young athletes by working as a youth football referee since I was 14 years old. Teamwork, commitment to helping others, and dedication to pushing myself beyond standard expectations are a few descriptive terms of my character and values.
