I saw #44 playing for LSU Saturday and didn't know who he was. Sounds like a great kid.

Chances of a lifetime by definition tend to happen only very rarely. You can't really expect them to stack up, one on top of the other, in less than a calendar year.
Sometimes, though, if you live your life the right way, fate has a way of smiling on you a little differently.
The last year has been anything but a normal ride for LSU sophomore Colin Jeter.
In the span of a few months in 2012, Jeter graduated from Longview High in East Texas, headed to Basic Cadet Training for the Air Force Academy and then absorbed an unexpected life-changing jolt.
As Jeter was getting into the thick of his 8½ weeks of grueling work on his way to the Air Force Academy, he got a call. His mom Wendy had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she was struggling with the pain, the recovery and most of all, a future that she was unsure of.
Wendy Jeter needed her son, her only child, to come home.
"I was three weeks into it, and I was doing great," said Jeter, a 6-foot-6 236-pound tight end. "But when my mom called, I knew it was time to go home."
Which meant walking away from the first opportunity of a lifetime.
