Trinity Tigers Football Report Day--Aug. 9, 2012

Sr.     21
Jr.     17
So.    32
Fr.     64

Tot.   134    (WOW!)


                                       

+1!  Nice to see the incoming class numbers getting back to where they once were.  According to the story on the TUFB site it's the second-largest freshman class in Coach Mohr's tenure at Trinity.  The new roster has also been posted.

Hopefully they can line up some JV games so some of these guys can get some PT.

+1 Nice to see an Ohio boy, Wyatt Tiffany, on the roster. Anybody know much about this sophomore? Also saw a player from Germany, Matt Resch.

No carries last season, decent sized (6'3", 203#) young man.   Found this blog post from his high school days:

5) Wyatt Tiffany, running back, Cincinnati Country Day School

The Indians don't play in a lot of high profile games, so many of you will probably scratch your head when you read this entry. Well, take it from me, this student-athlete could play. I really enjoyed watching the enthusiasm Tiffany played the game with. On offense, he was always looking to lower his shoulder and deliver the first hit in an effort to gain more yards. On defense, at linebacker, he was was usually the first man to meet the opposing team's running back. Tiffany ended the season with 1,155 yards and eight touchdowns.

Second-team all-state two years running, 960 yards his junior year, 1160 his senior year.   From his highlights he's pretty much a straight-up-the-gut kind of runner.  Gained eight pounds in the weight room last year from 195# in high school.   

On another note, the D3football.com preseason Top 25 is out.  Trinity is at #16.  Among their opponents, UMHB is #4, Birmingham-Southern is #22, Centre is RV ("#26").   UW-W is #1, Mt Union #2, Wesley #3.

If I'm not mistaken Tiffany also won the Trinity Tiger Offensive hustler of the year for the 2011-2012 season. From what I've heard he's a super hard worker on the scout team and should be the next-in-line power RB once Granchelli graduates after this season.

Thanks guys it is always nice to see an Ohio boy do well out of state.

Houston Chronicle story mentions two incoming Trinity freshmen, primarily Fort Bend Hightower DE Martel Matthews - who will transition to OLB at Trinity.

(El Tea Gray--re: Beginning of 2012 Trinity Tigers Football Workouts)

Today was first session in full-pads. Shorts and helmets workouts since last week looked good, but the full-pad work was amazingly spirited for this huge group. First two-a-day work will be Thursday; the usual (if anything can be said is "usual" for this years group) within-team scrimmage will be held this Saturday afternoon.

Looks great for AC!  I'm partial to Trinity and I think that they may be better than last year.  The UMHB  game at TU should tell us a lot!  Go Tigers!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

After several hundred articles about UTSA and D1-bound Incarnate Word, the Express-News included a couple of Trinity articles:

(El Tea Gray--re: Trinity Tiger Buzz-Saw)

IMHO Monterrey Tech-Santa Fe ran into a buzz-saw in their scrimmage with the Tigers last Saturday. Trinity suited-up eight QBs for the scrimmage; when is the last time the Tigers have had that many QBs at that point in camp (I believe like never)? Here come the Tigers--buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (yes 15).

                                                                              Go Tigers Go

Don't forget to play the ASC Pick-em game starting this week!  Rules and information are on the ASC portion of the Pick-em board in the General Board portion of Post Patterns.  We have three people playing so far and two are not from the ASC teams.  Let's get on board and make it interesting.

There is a Thursday night game this week so if you wait and enter your picks Friday, you will have to forfeit that game.
