From the Coach:
“Tristan is as good of a person as he is a player,” said Kellis head coach Ben Kullos. “He exemplifies every attribute we strive for in our program. He is a pillar of this campus’culture. On the field he is extremely versatile and explosive. He’s just scratching the surface of his potential. His work ethic combined with his humility puts the sky as his limit. Can’t say enough good things about him!”
“When I first got here there weren’t kids going on to the next level,” said Kulloss “We have have multiple athletes placed across all levels of football with Tristan being our second D1 guy (first FBS). I hope his story goes to show you can go D1 from your backyard school (Tristan and his brother literally walked to school their early years).”
