Middle Tennessee will welcome back one of its favorite team captains Saturday.
Colton Sheets, a 10-year-old Blue Raider fan and cancer survivor, will serve as honorary captain against Louisiana Tech for the second time.
"You tell a 10-year-old he can come be an honorary captain for MTSU and they go crazy," Colton's mother Jennifer Sheets said. "He can't wait, he's excited, he asks about it – he truly feels like he's a part of the team, which is special."
A year and a half ago, Colton underwent a cord-blood transplant at Seattle Children's Hospital. While there he was visited by some pretty cool celebrities: Captain America and Star-Lord (actually actors Chris Evans and Chris Pratt dressed in their costumes from "Captain America" and "Guardians of the Galaxy").
