Early years
Akaki Akarye was born in New York in the family of emmigrants, and spent his childhood playing both football and basketball. He had some decent successes in both sports, butin high school it became apparent that he is better suited to football. He played both offense and defense in high school, being linebacker and tight end, due to his basketball training. His raw athleticism was good enough for high school but there were questions if he really is a professional prospect. His family and teachers characterised him as humble, talented but a bit lazy. It seems like he coasted on natural talent and didnt have the best work ethic. These charactheristics marred his future prospects as college and professional player. Also there were some concerns about his playing weight, cause Akaki had problems with weight gain and was considered too small for lb. But after spending a summer with his granny he gained enough muscles and looked really different on playing field and in the gym.
College career
College carrer had really rough start for Akarye. he managed to tear his ACL in his first start as a true freshman. The recovery from the injury took the whole season. Recovery went hard cause of his questionable work ethic, and coaches told him that earning playing time will depend on him changing it and working hard. So in his second season he barely played but instead concentrated on training a lot. This contributed to his third season which was a truly breakout for him. He led the team in tackles, forced a couple of fumbles and even snagged one interception after becoming a full time starter. His quiet and humble demeanor in the locker room changed on the field where he really brought the competetive edge and aggresiveness. Akarye also started to spend more time in the film room to learn more about game strategy. He wanted to get every advantage that he could against other teams.
