Trojans - Coach Meyers and his crew handle the mowing of the football field. Knowing how hot it is this week, he instructed them to raise their decks once they got to the playing my surface to minimize stress. He deserves a huge thank you! L Richard Whitney Field looks great!

First home visit of the week with sophomore OL/DL Nathan DeSplinter. Nathan has made himself a bit of a Swiss Army knife on the offensive line, learning to play both guard and tackle on both sides. The best ability is…availability! Go Trojans!

Coach Dutton and I visited with Dylan (Sr, RB/DB, captain) and Caleb (Fr, RB/LB) Shane this evening. A testament to their parents, both young men shook our hands and asked “how are you Coach” when we arrived. A handshake goes a long way. Go Trojans!

Home visit with senior OL/DL Caleb Stevens and his parents tonight. I was proud to tell them that at every workout this summer Caleb has asked at least one freshmen to lift at his rack. We are called to serve, and Caleb certainly is. Agape lived out. Go Trojans!

Visited with freshman FB/LB Will Reno and his parents tonight. Will's father played at Richwoods for all of the coaches that I consider to be my mentors. Fun discussing those men. One huge thing Will has going for him - he works on a farm - he will laugh at 'heat acclimation.'

A bittersweet meeting with senior TE/DB Tommy Burkitt and his parents. The last three years in this pic I was flanked by older brother Joey, who has now graduated. To hear a returning 2-way starter say "I realized I need to practice like I don't have a starting spot" is awesome.

If you didn't know, junior OL/DL Draven Yarbrough is a musician. At a visit with his parents we talked about how playing fast is like playing an instrument - it's all 'chunking.' First you have to think. Then you start play. Finally you start to understand (create). Fun visit.

Another picture in which just a year ago there were two Thorntons, but older brother Oliver graduated. Owen, junior OL/DL, and his parents had a great meeting. Owen has been laser focused since November, and it's showing up in the weight room, track, and on the field!

I missed junior captain RB/LB Logan Estes's picture the last two years. But not tonight! Logan mentioned how much he appreciated mentorship by Bo Windish last year, and how he is seeing that help him already as he moves to varsity play. He's primed for a great junior campaign.

A visit with freshman TE/LB Oliver Hoerr and his parents was a great way to kick off the evening! Dad's excited to see some football. Mom's fired up to cook pasta for Pasta Meal. And Oliver just wants to get after it! Go Trojans!

Levi Gilles is a freshman QB/DB. He's also the first of four siblings to head to high school. Another reason home visits are so helpful - what to expect from football and high school in general. Levi gifted me this awesome Trojan keychain that he 3D printed just today!

Sophomore C/DT Riggs Lambert has worked very hard to turn himself into a good football player, and it's worked. Another great home visit where we got to talk about goals and expectations. Big things coming for Riggs! Go Trojans!

Baron Case's dad said that his senior season will be bittersweet. The Case family has been part of Trojans football for a very long time. Senior OT/DT Baron will bookend the family's Trojans Football experience that his brother Grady started so many years ago.

Sophomore TE/DE Gavin Strom has had a busy summer in the gym, weight room, on the football field, at FFA, and at 4H. Gavin is coming as close as you can do doing it all, and it's obvious from this visit that his parents are there to support him in all of them. Go Trojans!

At Monmouth College Football for team camp. After we checked in the Monmouth housing director told me “you have a group of really well-mannered young men.” Then this is how they left the dinning room. Two big wins today. Go Trojans!

The Trojans were blessed with the opportunity to help set up the Tackle MS with Alex Tanney camp at Monmouth College Football today. Coach Tanney (Indianapolis Colts) took time to talk to us about leadership and accountability. Also great to catch up with Don Tanney. tacklemswithalextanney.com
