PRINCETON, N.J. — One of college football’s oldest programs has its first openly gay player.
Princeton offensive lineman Mason Darrow told the website Outsports that he is gay.
Darrow, of Lake Barrington, Ill., said that everything had gone well at home and on campus since he came out to his teammates and coaches.
Darrow said he wanted “to show people you can be gay and play Division I football.”
He told the website, “If that’s going to help some sophomore in Arizona come out to his teammates and be comfortable in himself, that’s the reason I’m doing it.
