Quinn McDermott: Football–Trinity University

The Red Ledger: What sport do you play, and how long have you been playing?

Quinn McDermott: I play football, and I’ve been playing for about 12 years, since I was six.

TRL: What goals do you have for college sports?

QM: Just make an impact on the team immediately, be a leader and bring the culture of our team to the school that I’m gonna play for. 

TRL: Would you ever consider going professional?

QM: I mean I guess if the opportunity came, I don’t think that’s very likely, so it’s not really what my plan is.

TRL: How has playing sports impacted your life?

QM: It’s impacted it a lot, it has taught me a bunch of skills and life lessons, and given me lifelong friends, it’s like a big brotherhood. 

TRL: What is your best memory regarding this sport?

QM: Best memory would probably have to be the Denison game this year, it was a big comeback win that we had and it set us into the playoffs. 

TRL: Why did you choose this school?

QM: Great academics was a big part of my decision making process, and I visited schools up north, too, but I really wanted to stay close to home, and just still be in Texas.
