About Thatcher

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a physical player that uses my agility to drive players down field. I am aggressive, and rely on my strength and technique.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a hardworking, dedicated player who is also very aggressive and physical on the field. I weight train four to five days per week and work with a personal trainer to maintain speed and agility. I have maintained my speed and flexibility despite adding 50 lbs. of muscle following my freshmen year, where I started as the Varsity Center.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I attend Fellowship of Christian athletes at my school and complete service hours volunteering.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

While playing multiple team sports, I have become a leader. I work hard to motivate my teammates and to push our team to be the best that we can be at all times. I engage in community service including participating in youth sports volunteer opportunities and assisting with lawn care for senior citizens in my community.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

My grandpa passed away from ALS last January. That was a very big challenge for me, as he was a big part of my athletics and academics. But I continue to work hard towards my dreams, knowing he always supported and shared in my goals.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for any college that will give me the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career. Specifically, I am seeking a strong football program and a pathway towards a degree in Exercise Science or a related field. I would like to pursue personal training or college athletic training after graduation.

Trotter is a center for SHG that at 6’3″ 270 pounds brings grit to the table at the pivot spot.  Wrestles interior defensive lineman to the ground.  Has the athleticism to get out in front on screens blocking.  Raw strength to be able to hold up against larger defensive tackles.  Plays with mean streak.
