What was the progression that led you to competing in football at the collegiate level? “I started playing football when I was seven years old. My passion for the game grew with each passing year. When I earned a varsity letter my sophomore year, I realized it was a possibility for me to play at the next level. The recruiting process started at the end of the football season junior year. I attended several football camps and met many football coaches, and it progressed from there.”
Coach Randy Cuthbert says: “Chad did a lot of things for us. He won the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete award. He’s a very smart kid on and off the field.
