Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler had a problem. Because of COVID-19 in 2020, the Bearkats were forced to play in the spring of 2021, winning the FCS National Championship with a 10-0 record. Sam Houston ha a short time before beginning another season this past September. Still, 6-foot-2, 202-pound senior cornerback Zyon McCollum would get out on his own every morning and work with a receiver to hone his craft.

McCollum, who was originally a Utah commit, wouldn’t back off from the extra work.
