COACH WEST'S COMMENTS
"Tommy is an extremely gifted athlete," head sprint football coach Mark West said. "His accomplishments on the football field speak for themselves. He's been an all-league performer at wide receiver both as a sophomore and junior. He makes the most difficult catches look routine. What makes him extra special is his accomplishments off the field. As our team captain, he has earned the respect of his teammates as their elected leader. He leads this team with confidence and compassion, always setting the example in all he does. He also leads the team in the classroom and has earned recognition on multiple occasions for his excellent work.
