Early years

He was born as Larry English on January 22, 1986, in the town of Aurora in Illinois, United States. He was always very thankful for the fact that he was born in The United States because this gave him a lot of opportunities. He probably would not have met many people that he did.

He has been suffering from asthma since he was just a little kid but had coped it pretty well with the help of his father Larry English Sr. and his mother Susan who were very loving parents. He said that without the support of his parents, he would probably let his illness get in the way of him creating a big career.

He was especially monitored because of his asthma issues so he was rarely alone.

His parents realized that he loved football more than anything so they let him train it. Later it was shown that the sport helped a lot with his asthma problems.

He was a student at Aurora Marmion Academy high school where he was a very important player of the high school’s football team.

Larry was named as the team’s most valuable player several times and was a co-captain of the team which was a big deal for him.

He played in two positions: as an inside linebacker and also as a running back.

Other than football which he adored he was also very good at basketball and track. That is why he competed in the school’s basketball team and track team but he was not as good as in football.

After he finished high school he had enrolled the Northern Illinois College but has been injured in the very first game for his new college team. This made him spent most of his first season on the bench, recovering from his undesired injury.

His next season was better and he managed to play in eleven games through the season. He tried to force himself to play better and this eventually caused him a bunch of stress, but he did manage to end the whole thing by working with his best coach who was a big support to him.

The 2006 season became his high improvement season where he played in almost all games and made the great number of tackles. Obviously, the coaching technique worked really well.

It was in 2007 that Larry was named as the Most Valuable Player for the Mid- American Conference. This showed how much he improved in this season. This was such a big thing for him, he was very proud of it!

In the 2008 season, he has managed to win the Vern Smith Award. He was also the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year. It was the 3rd season that he was an All-Mac Choice of all the judges.
