Addison Gillam is a really good football player. Over his three seasons with the Colorado Buffaloes he has made some great memories on the field. His freshman season was one of the most prolific for a linebacker in school history.
He did not practice this spring taking a “sabbatical.”
He was making up his mind on if he was going to take the field for a senior season after what had been some ups and downs. What he is doing on that sabbatical is now known. Gillam is hiking the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail. It passes through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, while making a 6,000 foot change in elevation.
