Coaches Q&A with Steve Devlin: 

Tom started as a freshman last year, looking back what impressed you most about him?

“He is very mature for his age. But being a freshman you have to take him slowly. At times he was vocal last year. He wasn’t afraid to rally the guys.”

“We ask the quarterback to do a lot and it can be a lot for a freshman, but he handled it well. To give you a example in his first game as a starter he threw a touchdown pass on his first throw. Making it to the state championship game is a big complement for a freshman quarterback.”

 

What are his strengths?

“First off he is a good athlete. He is a good passer but he can make plays with his legs. He is very smart and mature for his age.”
