At Orlando Christian Prep, our athletics teams strive to be the best, which results in a long list of athletes who will play at the next level.
Continuing our discussion of athletes who have committed to colleges, we have two more students to highlight. Shamar Hill and Jalen Carr two more seniors from our football team headed to college on scholarship. They each are exceptional, both in the classroom and on the field.
Shamar is headed to Norfolk State University to play football, where he will be playing linebacker. Shamar is known for being extremely passionate on the field. He has a high motor that leads to many tackles and big plays, and has instincts for the game that make him a very recruit-worthy athlete. Shamar has attended OCP for two years, where he has developed into quite a player and young man. Beyond sports, Shamar is a diligent learner, securing the GPA needed to be a college-bound athlete and enabling him to make a great impact on his teachers and peers. He is well-liked and respected around the campus. We wish Shamar luck in his future wherever life leads him.
Jalen Carr, or as many know him -- “J Dawg," is a running back who will be attending Illinois State University. Jalen has a work ethic like no other and is considered the hardest worker on the team. He not only trains Monday through Friday, but even on the weekends. He is very fast, running the 40 yard dash at exceptional speeds, and boasts quick reflexes, agile cuts, and consistency. Jalen was a force on the field, and as a result of his hard work received a college scholarship to Illinois State. Jalen boasts a good GPA and works hard in the classroom so he could achieve a goal of his: playing Division I football. Jalen is known as a jokester who loves to have fun, but he knows when to be serious, as is reflected by his grades. He will do great in college and all of us at OCP are cheering him on.
As more seniors decide on their college we will highlight them. Stay tuned for even more highlights of our Warriors' future plans. We at OCP are praying all our seniors to reach their fullest potential and accomplish everything God has planned for them!
