Tuesday Morning Quarterback
Daily Herald Report
Name: Sam Odell
School: Wheaton North
Year: Senior
Best thing about being an offensive lineman: Being behind the scenes a little bit, but you know how much you affect the game and help your team.
Worst thing about being an offensive lineman: If you're not performing or you're not doing well, you could be the first one to get the blame.
Don't tell my coach that: I am sore or slightly banged up. I want to get back out there.
If I could change one thing about football: I'd put more time on the clock. I want to play more.
Team not on our schedule I wish we could play: I wish we played Wheaton Academy. I know a lot of kids on that team. I'm pretty sure we'd get a win.
How I'll celebrate if I score a TD: I'd get hyped with the team in the end zone.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat: I don't have any social media. For me personally it's kind of a distraction.
What I like best about my school: I like the amount of pride we have at our school.
Something about me that would surprise you: As gritty as an offensive lineman needs to be, I'm laid back off the field.
Other sports I play: I throw shot and discus in track and field.
Favorite actor: I like Morgan Freeman a lot. He can be in any type of movie.
Favorite actress: Scarlett Johansson. She's a superhero in the Marvel movies, which I like a lot.
Favorite athlete: One of my favorite athletes is Tim Tebow. Like him I try to carry my faith on and off the field while performing at a high level.
Favorite musician: I like U2's sound and the music they make.
