My name is Chris Gore and I'm entering my Junior year at Plainfield Central High School and will be playing of our Varsity team. I have been playing competitive sports since I was 6 years old. Football has always been my favorite sport and am very passionate and dedicated to being the best player I can be. My dream is to play football in college while getting a great education. Since I am willing to do anything to get to the next level I have been training at Acceleration Sports Performance in Naperville doing speed, plyometrics & power classes, weightlifting at the gym and with my football team. I will be attending a variety of college camps/combines this summer to not only learn from some awesome Coaches but to improve my chances of going to the next level. I was fortunate to have been invited to some and even did a couple campus visits. I attended FBU Chicago and based on my performance I was invited to participate at FBU Top Gun. I also attended a NUCS combine and was invited to participate in their Ultimate 100 Top Prospect Elite Camp.I started playing football when I was 6 years old with the Plainfield Prowlers. When I was playing with the Prowlers I was starting linebacker and fullback. During my Junior Midget season my team and I were undefeated and went to the UYFL National Championships in Florida. I also received the Chicago Rush Ironman Award from my Coaches for dedication, hard-work, sportsmanship, leadership, and on & off field performance. In 2013 I attended O-D Football Camp and received the Player of the Week Award and was invited to play in the All-American Bowl at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, FL. I am now playing high school football at PCHS and I am starting inside linebacker on defense and backup running back on offense since my freshman team didn't utilize the fullback position. I was starting linebacker on my sophomore team, as well as, Defensive Captain.Grades and academics have always been a priority for me. I have been on the Honor Roll or High Honor Roll and in honors math since 5th grade. Throughout middle school and high school I have had all A's with a few B's. I currently have a 4.7 out of 5.0 GPA. I am very proud of everything I have done in school and will continue to work hard.I am volunteering with my old football program, Plainfield Prowlers, helping at their summer conditioning camps, during the season at practices and on the sidelines at games. I will also be helping at my team's youth football camps over the summer. I enjoy working with the younger players and showing them how to do drills and techniques. I have volunteered with my brother's hockey team to help out at MorningStar Mission and donated to their annual Toys for Tots event.
