Sandpoint High School right tackle Triston Tomco showed off his skills at the 2023 Junior Day Football National Showcase held at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.

In order to qualify for such an event, the rising junior placed in the top five percent of performers at a junior day camp held at Bear Field in Moscow. At the event in Moscow, each player received verbal feedback, evaluations and instruction from different college coaches from Hartnell College, Oklahoma Baptist University, Pacific University Oregon, University of Puget Sound and University of La Verne.

At the national showcase, Tomco was praised by college coaches for his technique on the offensive line. The colleges who attended, included, but are not limited to, Bowie State University, Rocky Mountain College, Texas Lutheran University, Western Connecticut State and Kentucky Wesleyan. Tomco said he wants to give a big shoutout to SHS head coach Ryan Knowles and assistant coach George Yarno for teaching him everything he knows.
