A senior at Phillipsburg High School and member of its wrestling team, Andrew “Drew” Horun is a 2016 National Honor Society inductee with varied sporting interests. Outside of wrestling, Andrew Horun is a passionate fan of the National Football League’s (NFL) New York Giants.
Since NFL free agency opened up in March, the Giants have been busy shoring up its defensive unit. The team added linebackers Kareem Martin, Alec Ogletree, defensive backs B.W. Webb, Curtis Riley, and Teddy Williams, and defensive tackle Josh Mauro in the first two weeks and, on March 26, announced the signing of safety Michael Thomas.
A 29-year-old native of Houston, Texas, Thomas entered the league with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford in 2012. He spent the next year and a half on the 49ers practice squad before being signed by the Miami Dolphins in December 2013. Named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after his first career game, he quickly proved himself a capable player in the NFL. Thomas has since compiled 147 tackles, one interception, 6 defended passes, and two forced fumbles in 56 career regular season games, all of which were with the Dolphins.
