There’s no mistaking this: Cam Lindsey is one of the main reasons the Quips have been to the state title game two years in a row. He’s an explosive player on both sides of the ball. When on offense he’s a threat to move the chains every time he touches the ball. But it’s on defense you’ll see him at his best. His ability to read plays and be where the ball is heading is stellar. He’s a tackling machine. Cam is also a very humble and intelligent person. He’s a two time First Team All conference linebacker and a two time 1st team All-State linebacker. There’s no reason this season won’t equate to “three time”.
Head coach Mike Warfield says Cam is a “team leader, explosive tackler, instinctive football player, hard noser runner, special team player of the year, honor student”.
