I really, really, really like this. I'm sure having to forgo his final season of football was a bitter pill for Tristan, but am truly glad he is putting his health and well being first. Especially glad that the coach is using him as a defensive assistant so he gets to finish his career with the team. He sounds like a wonderful person to be leading these young men into the future.

Thanks Rocki.  It's been tough on him at times, but he's actually pretty excited to start his Coaching career.  Hoping to get a GA spot after this season.

All the best to him!!!! He will be a wonderful coach. I'm sure this experience will add an extra dimension to his coaching career as far as looking out for kids who are playing for him. Is he looking to get his grad degree here, or somewhere different? Wherever it is, he will be a blessing to their program.

He's hoping to earn a GA role at WIU.  He bleeds Purple and Gold.
