Coaches Comments: Austin led our team in total tackles the past two seasons as a Sophomore (63) and Junior (62). Going into his Senior year he is looking to lead us again in that department and more. Austin is 3rd on our all-time total tackles list with 132 tackles and has a chance to become the all-time total tackles leader. Austin is a great leader for our young team and will make an impact anytime he’s on the field. He also plays Full Back and is our Kicker.
