Donte Stallworth Implores Sun Devil Student-Athletes To Make Smart Decisions, Maximize Opportunities

By Craig Morgan, thesundevils.com Writer

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Donte Stallworth made the biggest mistake of his life when he got behind the wheel of his car and killed a man while legally impaired by alcohol. On Monday at the Carson Student-Athlete Center, he begged Sun Devils student-athletes and staff to avoid the same mistake.

"Not a day goes by where I don't think about what happened," Stallworth said in the packed Dutson Theater. "It happened because of a simple decision I made."

Stallworth, a former NFL receiver who played 10 pro seasons with six teams, was a guest speaker in Sun Devil Athletics' Championship Life Program, designed to educate and prepare student-athletes for life beyond athletics.
