Gamebreaker: What is the one thing you like most about being a lineman?

Gamebreaker: Who is the toughest player you’ve had to face in your career, and what makes him so tough?
Chris Tennant: “Cory Hunt (Hundred). He was athletic and you could tell he had a lot of heart. He knew his role and he did it well.”
Gamebreaker: What other position do you wish you could play? Why?

Gamebreaker: Which opponent has the toughest crowd to play in front of? What makes it so tough?
Chris Tennant: “I would say Notre Dame in Clarksburg. Their crowd really gets into the game. Their fans mirror our fans in a lot of ways.”

Chris Tennant: “I’d like to go to college and study medicine and possibly play football.”
