NSR Male AOD: Neil Allor, ’14 RB/DB, from Lake Fenton High, Michigan, carrying a 3.9 GPA

We are proud to select as our Male Athlete of the Day, Neil Allor, a running back and defensive back, from Lake Fenton High School in Lake Fenton, Michigan.  He will graduate in 2014 and currently has a 3.87 GPA.  His NSR scout, Steve Lamay describes him this way in his scouting report, “Neil is an overall athlete. He is primarily a running back and cornerback. He has very good speed and knows how to use it. Very good at spotting and hitting the hole on offense. Defensively he can stay with even the best WRs and can get up and will the hand fights for the ball. Not afraid of contact and shows good tackling form. Has good lateral movement and turns his hips well in coverage. Gets to top speed quickly.”  And addressing college coaches, Neil says, “I love running up and down the field spinning out of tackles on the offensive side of the ball and destroying ball carriers on the defensive side. With the dream of becoming a college football player I am also pursuing either the mechanical engineering career or physical therapy career. To accomplish both of these goals I will use my strong determination, quick and clever decision making, and also pure instinct.  Football has has taught me to push through all the hard things and eventually some good will come out of it. My strong determination allows me to battle exhaustion, work hard in every drill, and make myself better every time I step on the field. Determination also helps by making me strive to be the best student in the classroom as well as a son or friend outside of school. To be a great football player you have to have quick and clever thinking. At any moment the ball could go one way or back the other way. Being alert and on top of all the events allows you to be in the right spot at the right time. Quick and clever decisions also help by making you pick right from wrong.”
