About Tristan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m an aggressive, fast, and explosive linebacker who plays with intensity every snap. In just 5 games, I’ve totaled 55 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. I read plays quickly, fly sideline to sideline, and thrive on shutting down offenses before they get going. I bring relentless energy, a high motor, and a mindset built on dominating every rep.

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

I lead by example — with my effort, energy, and toughness every single play. I’m the kind of player who’s going to show up early, stay late, and push my teammates to raise their level. I take pride in being vocal when it counts and stepping up in big moments. My grit shows in the way I play — never taking a play off, fighting through adversity, and doing whatever it takes to help my team win.

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

I am apart of AFFA: The Association For Femminst Action. I am apart of BLB: Boys Leading Boys. I won first prize for NYU's Chinese competition.

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

Over time, I’ve developed into a leader both on and off the field. Whether it's keeping the energy up during tough moments or holding myself and my teammates accountable, I’ve learned how to lead with my voice and my actions. Teamwork is huge for me — football’s not a one-man game, and I take pride in being someone my teammates can rely on.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that offers the full package — strong academics, a close-knit community, a competitive football program, and a campus that feels like home. I want to be challenged in the classroom just as much as I am on the field, surrounded by people who push me to grow and succeed. I’m looking for a place where the team feels like family.

Tristan Cornell Tristan Cornell Tristan Cornell 6'2" | 200 lbs | TE Riverdale Country School | 2026 State NY is a fiery LB that knows how to attack through the LOS when blitzing through the A and B gaps. Further, Cornell has the downhill violence to attack ball carriers on all occasions. The sideline-to-sideline athleticism is a major trait that stands out when setting the tone in finishing his tackles. By all means, his ability to fire without flinching is a major factor in his swagger at the LB position. Bringing the emotion into making big hits is what Cornell will do for his defense.
