WORDS FROM THE HEAD COACH:
Chad is a huge asset to our team on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. He’s one of the best athletes on our team and is always looking for ways to get better. He is truly our “do-it-all” guy who can be physical in the run game or stand in the pocket and read defenses. Chad is always around the ball on defense and is not afraid to come up and make a play in the run game. Overall, a playmaker, on both sides of the ball, whose best performances are yet to come.
