Tom Cillo is hoping to prove that age is nothing but a number — even on the football field.

Cillo, 58, is currently a freshman defensive lineman for the Division III Lycoming College football team in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Cillo is four years older than his head coach, Mike Clark, and all three of Cillo’s kids are older than any of his teammates.
