Corey has added to that intensity.  During his initial visit I thought Corey would be a linebacker; I remember thinking that he was too small. He was 6-0 and 205 at the time. What I did not know was the desire and commitment that Corey possesses. At defensive end, he uses his speed, quickness and strength to defeat much larger offensive tackles. When Corey is in full pass rush it is very difficult for a 300-pound lineman to stop him. Either they hold him or Corey is on the quarterback. <br>Corey now has a Bench Press of 420 lbs., a Squat of 650 lbs., a Hang Clean of 345 lbs., a Power Clean of 316 lbs. and a Push Jerk of 341 lbs.. Corey s weight has climbed to 218 lbs. with a Vertical Jump of 38.5 and a forty time of 4.55 seconds. He is bigger, faster and stronger!<br> When I go into the weight room, said Corey with conviction,  It is like the classroom, football or anything else. It is all business. I am very serious. We have a great weight program so I just do what Coach Gentry says plus some extra work on my own. Coach Gentry has made the difference in my career. He is the best in the country. Jim Whitten, our assistant strength coach, is also great. He helps me all of the time. <br>Corey believes that to be successful you must live good principles.  Surround yourself with people who care about you, Corey said.  Set high goals and live your dream. Work hard. Be your own person and strive to do what s right. Don t be influenced easily by things that won t help you. Be aware of what will help you. Be aware of what will help you and hurt you. Avoid what will hurt you. <br>Corey tries not to get caught up in things like peer pressure.  I don t let peer pressure get to me, stated Corey. I ve always been my own person. I never did smoke, chew, drink alcohol or do drugs in high school. If you were really my friend, you would never ask me to do that. If I did, my mom would have killed me.<br> My mother taught me many lessons. She was my inspiration and means everything in the world to me. She raised my two brothers and my sister by herself, while most of the time working two jobs. She taught me a lot about hard work and the Bible. I love my mother to death and she is the most important person in my life.<br> My Grandma told me to dream big and when she died on my 17th birthday that really helped me to focus and change. I pursued lofty goals from then on. I really believe in dreaming big. My family and my belief in God are the most important parts of my life. I believe it is important to be willing to live a Christian manhood like life. I also want that for my friends and teammates. <br>Corey remains politically active with his fraternity. He s involved in various activities and is a representative in several school councils. He plans to finish his degree in finance by his senior year and then go to law school. Presently, Corey is looking into a career as a football sports agent, however,  It is not a primary goal. If it happens, I will step up to the plate. But, it is always going to be law school first and then sports agent. <br>Once again, many thanks to Mike Gentry for sharing Corey s inspiring story.<br><br>_______________________<br><br> Surround yourselfwith people who care about you, set high goals and li
