As a dual-sport athlete for Lyons, senior Hendrix Starbuck has had a very busy offseason.
Starbuck, who plays linebacker and quick guard for the Lions, also participated in track and field. Starbuck was looking forward to his senior season with the Lions this year.
“I’m excited for how physical and fast our team is going to be, and I’m ready to lead by example on both sides of the ball,” Starbuck said.
During his off-season he spent a lot of the time in the gym with his teammates.
“I’ve spent the offseason lifting heavy, working speed and agility, attending position camps, and improving my open-field tackling and explosiveness through angle drills, tackle circuits, and film study,” Starbuck said.
This season Starbuck finished with 67 tackles, four sacks, five tackles for loss and two interceptions.
Looking to leave a strong legacy at Lyons, Starbuck hopes he represented his family well his senior year and hopes all the hard work he puts in every offseason showed on the field.
All the hard work is not over for Starbuck though, he has plans to pursue track in college and continue working every day to get better and represent his family well.
Starbuck hopes anything he does in his future will connect to athletics in a positive way.
