TYLER NOWELL IS GOING TO BE “THAT GUY” FOR THE LEE GANDERS.
But not just yet.
The sophomore wide receiver for the football team and sprinter in track and field is developing some swagger as an underclassman.
That should bode well as he builds his athletic resume in years to come.
VYPE caught up with the “Super Soph” to see what makes him tick in our 411 Feature.
VYPE: How is track preparing you for a breakout season in football?
NOWELL: “Of course, it’s making me faster, but it really helps with endurance and form. You can always get a little better every time you step on the track. Just a little faster.”
VYPE: What can you see yourself doing in 3-5 years?
NOWELL: “I want to go to school in order to learn welding and do that for a little while. Then move up into some sort of management from there.”
VYPE: What is your personal goal in track this season?
NOWELL: “I love competition. Sure, I want to win some medals, but I want to see our little team go out there and compete with the big schools. I want to show them that we are going to stand our ground.
VYPE: What is your dream car?
NOWELL: “A Camaro or a Corvette.”
VYPE: What celebrity would you want to date?
NOWELL: “Sabrina Carpenter.”
VYPE: Where is your favorite place to eat?
NOWELL: “Buffalo Wild Wings.”
VYPE: What is your goal in football next year?
NOWELL: I want to earn a starting spot. I got a taste of it last year, but I want the coaches to rely and trust that I can make plays.
VYPE: Before a race, what’s your hype song?
NOWELL: Anything by Lil’ Baby.
