DE at Monte Vista HS Drew Dunning loves the physicality of the sport
DANVILLE, Calif. — A soccer and baseball athlete throughout his youth, Drew tried out for the freshman football team and made the squad. Attending Monte Vista High School, Drew played defensive end in his first year of the 2021 season.聽
When asked what attracts him to the sport, Drew said, 鈥淚 want to play football because you can be praised for taking somebody down.鈥� Drew noted that he looked forward to getting out and getting to do something physical and fun following a year at home due to COVID.聽聽
Like many football players, Drew quickly learned that football is not just about scoring the big TD. 鈥淔ootball is physical, but it also requires a lot of thinking, executing plays, and special techniques,鈥� noted Drew.聽
Even though the season is over, it鈥檚 natural that Drew wishes the freshman team had fared better. The freshman team lost four coaches in the early season and as a result, the team had a small roster. Still, Drew stuck with the team and, win or lose, he showed up and was ready to play. That鈥檚 the Mustang spirit!聽
