Last season for Attica-Argonia, athlete Carson Vineyard was a first team all-league linebacker as only a sophomore. This year, Vineyard has plans to add on to those accolades and better his stats.
“Some goals I’m focused on is getting All-State running back, linebacker, and special teams,” Vineyard said. “My particular stats would be to have around 250 to 300 assisted in solo tackles as well as over a thousand rushing yards and over 500 special team return yards with there also being eight returns to the end zone.”
Not only does Vineyard want to stand out to his coaches, but to his teammates as well.
“In the postseason I want to have the underclassman see if you don’t have to be the tallest person to still be good,” Vineyard said.
Heading into his junior year, Vineyard is looking forward to the relationships with his teammates, and growing as an athlete.
“I am most excited to have a football family and to be better than I have ever been,” Vineyard said.
Vineyard has big plans after high school, two of which could take him in very different directions.
“My future plans are to go to the Missouri Welding Institute to get my pipeline degree if I don’t get any offers to play college football,” Vineyard said.
