Coach Bupp says “Tommy is an offensive coordinators dream. He can lineup at tailback, slot, or quarterback and has the ability to break a long one at any time. He has been a staple in the backfield the last 2 seasons, and we are excited to see what he can do this year coming off a 1,000 yd season. He is an all around athlete, with an incredible work ethic. He is the type of kid that is going to work hard, push those around him, and positive results are going to follow.”
