No job is too big or too small for Michael Thrower on the football field.Now in his senior season at Lindsey Wilson College, Thrower is making a huge impact on special teams as his team has started the season 5-2 and 3-0 in MSC play.Thrower is the Raiders’ holder on kicks and makes contributions on kick and punt coverage. While it’s not the same as when he was the starting quarterback for the Pioneers from 2008-10, Thrower is happy to be helping his team succeed.“I’ve always wanted to do whatever it took to help my team win,” said Thrower. “The coaching staff told me they needed me on special teams and I’ve been working hard to make an impact.”It was Thrower’s history of having the ball in his hands that gave his coaches the confidence he would be able to handle the holding duties.
