– A story of faith, fitness and second chances from Westminster, Maryland –

If a 60-year-old cancer survivor can make it back onto the field, maybe someone else out there will believe they can do the impossible too.”
— Tom Green, NCAA Defensive Lineman
WESTMINSTER, MD, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sixty-year-old cancer survivor and business leader Tom Green is proving that age is just a number as he gears up for McDaniel College’s spring football training, joining teammates decades younger for the 2026 season.

A Stage 4 kidney cancer survivor and principal owner of Northeast Pallet, LLC, Green embodies the slogan “it’s never too late.” His journey, branded as “0to60in6decades,” began after he rebuilt his life, physically and spiritually, following a devastating diagnosis and financial hardship. Now, as a defensive lineman for McDaniel’s Green Terror, he trains daily at dawn with a mission to inspire perseverance and purpose, one workout at a time.

Green’s story of grit and reinvention is already drawing national attention, and his impact extends beyond the field. He recently led his McDaniel teammates through off-season leadership sessions focused on discipline, adversity and faith and, through a partnership with a local Men’s Wearhouse, made sure every McDaniel football senior received a first custom-fitted suit as they prepare for life after football.

Reporters and cameras are invited to attend McDaniel College’s open spring practice on Wednesday, April 8, from 7 to 9 a.m. at Kenneth Gill Stadium. This will be the only open-to-media practice during the spring session, which begins March 30.
