About Tristan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I can play anywhere my coach wants me to play, Wr, RB, and more. I have an elusive play style with many releases off the ball and pristine route running at Wr, and swift movements at RB. I also don' just play offense I play defense as well, I play Strong Safety and can play in coverage and come down and make tackles. I not only play offense and defense, i also play special teams at Kick return.

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

I may stay calm in difficult situations even after a mistake i get back up and try again. I motivate my teams before the game and prepare my team for a big game.

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

St. Thomas Aquinas allows us to focus on helping the community with community services, all over NJ.

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

I have been faced with many challenges throughout the year but i feel the biggest challenge i had to face was not be able to get many receptions because of the favoritism for seniors. I over came this challenge by showing my coaches and other coaches what i can do when i don't have the ball or the rare opportunity i get the ball.

What type of college are you looking for?

Im looking for a college that can provide the perfect training and play style that throws the ball down field. Academically im looking for a school that is willing to assist me and help me achieve my goals for life after football.

**UPDATE**
Since the publishing of this article, it has come to Prep Rezone New Jersey’s attention that Tristan Bester Tristan Bester Tristan Bester 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Thomas Aquinas | 2027 State NJ is no longer with St. Joseph’s Metuchen and has now transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas.

With the Falcons lead tailback and receivers since graduated, Tristan Bester Tristan Bester Tristan Bester 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Thomas Aquinas | 2027 State NJ is primed for a huge leap in his time share after slashing 21/268/2 as a target on varsity last fall. The majority of Bester’s tape is on JV where we see him take quarterback snaps, play corner, and serve as a wing back. I like how Bester ran his track and was able to gain and conquer the edge on jet sweeps. Against lesser opponents he has shown shifty hips, while defensively he high points the ball and uses his hands to catch it. On the JV level, likely due do the speed of the linemen, he has to slow down his track when running trap or belly some. An immediate area Bester can work on his holding the ball tight to his body when toting the rock.
