MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Playing sports is a great way for student-athletes to take their minds off what's happening in life.
For Middle Tennessee long snapper Daniel Sargent, it's not only a way for him to escape, but also a way to stay close to his heroes.
Sargent's dad, Christopher, and brother, Thomas, are currently on deployment in the military, Thomas in Afghanistan and Christopher at an undisclosed location (Sargent isn't allowed to discuss).
Neither will be back stateside until after the Blue Raider season is over. But, don't think that will stop Christopher from watching his son play.
