Springside Chestnut Hill defensive end Tristan Holmbeck
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one
“I love the game of football and definitely want to play in college. I’ve been dreaming of playing college football since I started playing at 5 years old. Hopefully soon my dream becomes a reality.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I’ve been getting recruited by pretty much all of the Ivy League and Patriot League schools as well schools in the CAA and Northeast FCS division. I’ve been getting recruited primarily by schools at the D-1 level.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I’ve been talking a lot with Columbia, Penn, and Brown. There has also been Lehigh, which is a school I’m very interested in. I love the combination of high-quality academics and division one football. I’ve also been talking a lot with Bryant, who is another one of my favorites.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I was able to get up to Harvard for a game day visit, which was awesome. I’ve also been to Penn twice, once for a game day visit and another time for a junior day. I’ve also been able to attend Junior days at Buffalo, Brown, and Lafayette.”
Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I had a bunch of other visits scheduled, but all of them had to be canceled due to Covid-19. I had to cancel about eight other visits I was scheduled for.”
What camps are you planning to do this summer?
“I’ll probably do a bunch of camps this summer, but I’m still waiting to see which schools are really interested in me before I schedule any.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite school growing up was Penn State. I’ve always been a fan of the Nittany Lions. It’s a little far from Philly, but It’s definitely my home-town team. I love their uniforms, and I don’t think there is anything in football like a white-out game at Penn State. I was also invited to their camps this summer.”
