“Drew was a leader on and off the field,” said Western Coach Dan Davidson. “If it was in the weight room, at practice or game night Drew would always show us the way with his determination and trusting the process.
“It was very special to have Drew with us these past three years. His work ethic and desire to succeed could be felt everyday.”
Davidson said Faulkner was an outstanding teammate.
“From a young man getting so much attention these past few years, Drew was always so supportive to all of his teammates and would help and encourage them to reach their highest level of play,” he said.
