Lawrence Co. Head Coach Alan Short
“… Selfless is a word that I would use to describe Ashton. In his time playing for Lawrence County he always pushed himself and others around him to be the best that they could be, whether it be on the football field, in the weight room, or in the classroom. His infectious smile, outstanding attitude, athletic talent, and hard work will no doubt be a huge benefit to the Thomas More Football Program. We are very excited for Ashton and his family.”
Thomas More Signee Ashton Blankenship
“… I wanna thank everyone for attending my signing, and most importantly I want to thank my teammates, coaches and my family for always believing in me and supporting me in everything that I do. And I would like to truly thank my coaches for being more than coaches to me. They were more like father figures and always made me feel like I could talk to them about anything if I needed to.”
“ I just visited TMU and fell in love with it! The environment there was perfect, and I loved the coaching staff. They made me feel like I was at home.”
