Being the only senior on the offensive line, Mulvane’s Preston Grube is looking to step up and become a leader.
Grube, who is a left guard and a defensive tackle, is looking forward to seeing what this close knit team can do with all their talent.
Preparation is vital to any season and Grube believes that the preparation he and his team have done is enough for them to reach all their goals.
“To prepare for this season we all went to a football camp at Washburn, it was a great experience to bring us all together and challenge us with adversity so we can experience it before the season starts. We had summer weights and conditioning that had a great turnout,” Grube said. “Afterward we would have on field workouts with our position groups. Individually I would work out on my own every day to get better.”
Grube also knows trust and connections will help a team make a deep playoff run.
We will go out for breakfast or meals sometimes and I feel like it’s a great way for us to bond, and even helps us trust each other more on the field
Personal improvement is also a focus for Grube; who last year was just an offensive player, earning all-league second team honors.
“I also want to work on my defensive side of things,” Grube said. “I went to our d-line workouts over the summer to get better at my technique.”
Looking to major in engineering and not planning to play football in College Grube wants to cherish his last time playing.
“A personal goal is just to not take any moment for granted as each practice is one less we’ll get before the season ends,” Grube said.
