My name is Dontay McMurtrey. I have had the blessing of overcoming adversity my entire
life. This adversity I speak of has shaped me, built character in me and made me the
man I am today. I have been fortunate to be surrounded with caring people who have
taught me great values, work ethic second to none, integrity of the purest kind, and
above all, a love for God, family, and my fellow men.
That said. I am also a fierce competitor. I have learned to find a way to win in everything
I do, and accept nothing less. I have learned through my wrestling career an
unmatchable work ethic, toughness, and athletic attributes which have helped me
immensely in my Football career. I love competition and feed off of it. I love the feeling
of being the one who my Team counts on to lead them to victory. I love being the kind of
leader who lifts and elevates the play and qualities of those around me.
I have been a leader in all sports I’ve been a part of as well as social and religious
groups. I always conduct myself with top notch poise, respect and consideration
for all. My Education means more to me than I could ever express in words as I see it
as something that will help me make the world a better place. I have always been in the
honors program with my grades and maintain 3.7 accumulative average. I plan to
pursue the Medical Field as my Major in college. My grades are very important to me.
I was raised by my grandma and know the meaning of keeping myself morally clean,
mentally awake and physically strait. I also, know what it means to have little and make
do. I know the value of self-discipline and standing up for what is right. Avoiding peer
pressure and helping those in need.
I am blessed with physical abilities which have allowed me to be successful in
everything I do. I recognize they are gifts and plan to use them to the best of my ability.
Here are a few statistics I hope you find helpful in addition the attached videos for your
viewing pleasure. Equally important is my ability to see the field, read defenses and offenses and use my instincts to prevail.
