Scholar Athlete: Charlie English

With this week's scholar athlete sponsored by Eastchester Chrysler. Jeep Dodge, Ram Charlie English was the star running back on the Fordham prep football team and a midfielder on the Rams lacrosse team. He plans on playing both sports next year at Middlebury College an opportunity. He does not take lightly. It has been tough to balance both for sports and academics. But I feel like my sophomore year and junior year after COVID, I knew to step up and work as hard as I can because I've been kind of blessed with the opportunity to attend such a great school at, for Charlie always played football. His dad did in college as well. This past season, he was team M V P and named All League. He's also been all league two times in lacrosse, which is especially impressive since he didn't start really playing that sport until he got to the prep quarantines when I practice a lot and then kind of developed my sophomore year I started on varsity and kind of have gone from there, but it was really only high school that I became a good lacrosse player. Charlie carries an unweighted 3.85 grade point average and is interested in studying economics. Next year at Middlebury, aside from school and sports, he has been a religious retreat leader at the prep, but the activity of which he is most proud is his role as co President of Hunger Awareness. You hear about the hunger and the rest of the world and we kind of live in a kind of a small bubble and you don't realize how blessed we are. And I feel like if I'm able to help people understand that we're blessed and we have to give back. It's part of our duty as Americans and as Catholics that we have to give back. And through the Great Ignacia challenge Charlie helped raise more than £65,000 of food for those in need with our scholar athlete at Fordham, Pat o'keefe News.
