“We had to constantly account for Drew on the field. He was always a threat to score and even with the extra attention from defenses, had a great senior year. He has a great sense of field awareness. He sees and attacks the seams in the defense and trusts his teammates to get him the ball in scoring positions.”

Neil Armstrong

Head Coach head coach at Iredell High
