Tanner grew up as an elite athlete playing both rep hockey (goalie) as well as rep football (often playing both ways - only leaving the field for a mandatory water break during hot weather) - doing both at the same time.
Team Ontario:
Top Prospects Combine:
At the evaluation camps, Tanner impressed the coaches on both sides of the border (Canadian and US coaches) by his size, explosiveness and quickness. For a large and powerful teen, the coaches were especially impressed by his endurance, power and coordination. Tanner excelled on both sides of the ball (both as an offensive player and a defensive player), When demonstrating his defensive skills, the coaches noted how Tanner dwarfed the offensive line during the drills, repeatedly sacking the QB with ease.
