You never know who you’re going to run into on life’s path. Today it was former student Michael Collins, former Grandview student. Michael was on the ’96 state championship football team in high school.
He then went on to become a standout offensive lineman for the Wake Forest University Athletics Demon Deacons (1997–2001), named first-team All-ACC in 2001. Hailing from Hickory, NC, the 6’6″, 290+ lb guard was a key starter who helped lead Wake Forest to winning records.
Michael then went to the NFL, signing with the Baltimore Ravens (2002–2003) and Green Bay Packers (2004).
It was a true pleasure to see Michael out and about today and see the fine man he has become. One of the true fringe benefits of being a career teacher.
