When Toth entered his commitment at West Point, there was a 5-year service commitment. However, the policy was changed to 24 months during his stay.[7] There had been precedent (such as Joe Cardona of the 2015 NFL draft) for military school graduates to be allowed to defer their 24-month service policy,[12] but in 2017, United States Secretary of DefenseJim Mattis rescinded the policy to allow military service academy student-athlete graduates to delay their assignments to explore professional sports opportunities. In June 2019, United States PresidentDonald Trump requested that a policy be established to facilitate athletic pursuits and 2019 NFL draft selectee Austin Cutting was the first to sign a professional contract following the new policy.[13] When Toth applied for his waiver in August 2019, he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.[13] Toth cites Alejandro Villanueva, Collin Mooney and Josh McNary as his role models.[7] Toth had served a year as a second lieutenant before being granted a deferment.
