Stan White has had the football career of which some men can only dream. He started playing at the age of 12 and grew bigger and better with each year. Even though he was making more tackles and winning more awards with each passing season, he felt empty inside. It was not until he reached the biggest point in college football - a national championship - that he realized it was going to take something bigger then football to fill the emptiness in his life.

"A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the only thing that can fill that void we have inside us and it will stay filled," White said...

What a fabulous event and witness for The Lord! The message was spred greatly and it showed that many of these athletes aren't just "jocks," but top quality Christian men as well. I believe that Coach Tressel's Christian leadership is one of the reasons that this team is so successful!
