In this episode of "The TJ Thorpe Show," TJ talks to his former high school teammate Nick Drew, who went from an undersized high school defensive back to a key contributor at Campbell University. He thought he wanted to be a doctor, but after helping his coaches on the sideline during a game at Campbell, he discovered coaching was his calling. Now, still in his 20s, he's an associate head coach at Cardinal Gibbons and has coached in three state championships, winning one of them. Drew talks to TJ about his football journey from player to coach, and things he thinks high school players need to know today.Later, TJ talks to Southern Durham rising senior Jaybron Harvey, a four-star edge rusher (who also thinks he's a wide receiver) about what makes him so effective on defense. He walks TJ through his moves and how he reads the offense, and talks about his recruitment.
