Throughout the season we will run profiles on each of our 14 senior players. We've asked them to tell us why they chose to attend Grinnell, what their favorite moment as a Pioneer football player was, among other fun facts. Please enjoy getting to know a little more about these guys before they graduate this spring!
This Saturday is Senior Day, so we will run the last two profiles here this week. Last but not least, is senior center Mike Tricoli!
