Big 22: Providence Day’s Tre Geathers
Monday’s Big 22 Player to Watch had a late start to football, but it didn’t stop him from finding success.
Tre Geathers, the linebacker for Providence Day, is the Big 22 Player to Watch. He began playing tackle football only in the eighth grade. Geathers' father, Robert Lee Geathers, Jr., had a nine-year career with the Cincinnati Bengals, which influenced his decision to delay his son's exposure to tackle football. Despite the late start, Geathers has flourished on the field.
His journey was made easier by the support of his friends, particularly during his freshman and sophomore seasons. They provided him with scout team reps against notable players like Jordan Shipp and Channing, which helped him prepare for the future. Geathers credits this experience as proof that he can overcome any challenges he may face in the future.
His story will be featured as part of our Big 22 previews, with Stuart Cramer's Qualtreau Hawkins set to be highlighted next.
