Austin Antwine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NSR’s scout for North Georgia, John Arnold<\/strong>, describes our Male Athlete of the Day, Austin Antwine<\/a><\/strong>, this way in his scouting report:\u00a0 “Primarily a linebacker, Austin also plays spot duty at TE and FB on offense and has good hands as a receiver. He prefers defense and is a very aggressive<\/span><\/strong>, downhill player that loves to hit. He has solid technique and is a smart player as evidenced by the fact that he is the defensive signal caller on defense<\/strong>. He plays with his shoulders square and plays with his pad level down. He maintains gap responsibility, gets off blocks and to the football, and has excellent pursuit<\/strong> to the ball both on plays to him and away from him. His agressiveness sometimes translates into over pursuit and he needs to continue to work on maintaining proper pursuit position for cutback; however, he does a nice job of retracing his steps when he does overpursue in order to be involved in making a play. He has adequate speed but must, and is, working very hard in the off-season to improve overall speed as well as size and strength. Game speed is very good. Austin is a one-sport\u00a0 athlete by choice and is totally committed<\/strong>to becoming the best football player he can be and in playing at the collegiate level. He currently is in a highly-regimented training program at The Factory in Lawrenceville, GA. and has shown outstanding progress in all areas.\u00a0 Austin has a great work ethic<\/strong> on and off the field and is considered a team leader<\/strong>and is well-respected by his teammates.”\u00a0 A 6’0″ 190-pounder,\u00a0is also a great student at\u00a0Northview High\u00a0School in Duluth,\u00a0Georgia who carries a 3.2 GPA.\u00a0 He plans to study Exercise Science.\u00a0 In his essay to college\u00a0coaches, Austin says, “My work ethic, leadership qualities, aggressiveness and determination have led me to excel on each team I have been a part of since I started playing sports. I have been on two mission trips with my church. One trip was to Washington, D.C. where we met with youth that were in prison. We would play games and talk with them and try to get them not to give up on life or their dreams. The second trip was to New York City where we went to low-income neighborhoods and helped by cutting grass and cleaning up the neighborhoods. I have also worked with the foundation called 7 Bridges where we worked with homeless people on the streets of Atlanta. School is also important to me where I have made the honor roll and continue to be an A\/B student.\u00a0 My dream is to play college football, but I also want to get a good education and continue to help people that are less fortunate than me. I am sure that I can be a good teammate and student.”<\/p>\n
