Support
Thank you so much for your support – your contribution makes a big difference and helps me keep chasing my dream.
“Tobias is one of the most unique and driven players I’ve coached. He is unapologetically himself, bringing a quiet confidence and a relentless work ethic both on and off the field. At 6’3” 240 lbs and still only 17 years old, he is our starting NT and one of the strongest players on the team. He can roll up in his jeans and Birkenstocks and pump out 17 reps at 225 on bench without an issue. He has the versatility and athleticism to play across the front and we have no concerns putting him at DE or OLB. He handles his business and is just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential.”
