About RancesI am 25 years of age with an AAS Degree in Sports MG and continuing with my BAS degree in Sports MG. I started playing pop warner football at 8 years old. I played high-school varsity in Yonkers NY for Gorton High school all 4 years and graduated in 2019. I continued to JUCO football in New Rochelle, NY at Monroe College/ University as a WR, where I graduated with my Associates of Applied Science degree in 2022. After that I was offered a scholarship to play NAIA out in Olathe,KS for MNU where I transitioned to defense and played CB/Star/Safety. As of now I have my transcripts to continue towards my BAS degree with 117 credits and 2.8 GPA.
