Coming from the small town of Plymouth, Indiana where it’s mainly corn and beans, Jorge Quintana was born on May 6, 1999. He grew up in a family of seven people and is the second youngest out of the lively bunch.

Quintana is in his senior year as a member of the Rockies football team and he is also a member of the Plymouth track team. Quintana  is a right guard on the football team and throws shotput and discus for the track team.

His plans after high school are not finalized yet, but Quintana said, “I would love to attend the University of Indianapolis where I would like to study youth education.”

Quintana’s goals are to follow in his brother’s footsteps and become a high school football coach. Quintana also said, “I think that it would be pretty cool if one day I could coach for the high school team I grew up playing for.”

He loves his dog Lily. She is a terrier mix that loves to have fun and run around in the back yard. One of Quintana’s favorite hobbies is going to the gym and lifting weights as many times a week as he can.

Jorge is a staff member of the student publications staff. Quintana explained that he joined the class because he was  “asked to join” and “wanted to try something new, I am always down for a challenge.”
