TJ began playing football at the age of seven and was moved up to the next level by the age of eight. Since the age of eight, he has always had to participate with players a year or two older. As a freshman in Kentucky, he was the back-up quarterback on the varsity team. His sophomore year he relocated to Comstock where he rotated at quarterback and received honorable mention as a defensive back. During his junior year TJ earned the starting quarterback position and helped lead his team to the playoffs. His senior year, TJ was a two-way starter at quarterback and defensive back. He broke several Comstock records including all-time leading passer, pass attempts (season and career), passes completed (season and career), passing yardage (season and career), TD passes (season and career), TD passes in a game (5), Defensive Interceptions (Season 9 & Career 12) and was named team MVP. As a two-year captain, he was an essential part of the team’s 2005 District Championship, Regional Finals Runners-up title and team records for the most wins, most points and total yards in a season. While TJ will cherish his time at Comstock he believes the best is yet to come at Hillsdale College.
TJ gave special thanks to his big “bro” and his little “sis” for all the time and effort they put into his success on and off the field. He also thanked his mom for everything and his father, “although he has passed he is still a great motivation and drive towards my accomplishments. Finally, I give a very special thanks to my Dad/Coach; Mike Farley. You Made Me Who I am Today! Thank You and I love you all.”
