ARLINGTON, Texas — The greatest teacher is sometimes the game itself.
But for players at the Oakridge School, their lessons this season aren’t only coming from a playbook; they’re coming from experience. Every rep, every correction, every huddle on the practice field has turned into a masterclass in football and in life.
One of the greatest running backs to ever play the game is now on the coaching staff for the school, Pro Football Hall of Famer and TCU legend LaDainian Tomlinson .
On the practice field, Tomlinson’s voice rings out just like any other coach.
“Eyes on the corner now, read it! There it is, good!”
The former NFL MVP has traded in stadium lights for Friday night lights, joining Oakridge as the run game coordinator and running backs coach under first-year head coach Jer
