The game of football is a gift

Austin Rogers is a fine young man I coached when I was at David Lipscomb High School. I've coached some good ones through the years, but none were any better all-around than Austin; he was as gifted an athlete as I've ever seen, and a humble child of God.

Austin signed with the University of Tennessee and has had a good career at WR for the Vols. Earlier this week he was preparing for his senior season and suffered a likely career ending ACL injury. Always be thankful for the God given gift each of you have to play this game. Cherish every moment of it because you never know when it might end.
