Coaches Q&A with Chad Brubaker: 

What are his strengths on the field?

“Tate had the strongest arm on our team last year. He’s as quick as anyone on the team. He may be our punter this year. He can do pretty much anything he put’s his mind to. He has worked real hard on his speed this summer. He looks really quick in spring practice. I think he opened a lot of eyes in his game against Coatesville. Even though we got blown out, everyone was talking to me about the game he had.”

 

He played many positions for you last year. How many different ways did he score?

“Last year he played quarterback. He ran for a touchdown and threw a touchdown. At tailback he ran for touchdowns. He played fullback which I believe he ran for a touchdown. At receiver he caught touchdowns.”

 

Do you put packages in for him each week?

“We have a package every week as far as what we are going to do with Tate. We can match him up on somebody, so we have the advantage. We except huge things from him this year. On defense we may move him around at times. He is very versatile and he can do so many things.”
