ARLINGTON, Texas – Big men don’t sell, or so the old adage goes.
It’s certainly what Colton McKivitz believed to be true until he was out for dinner with his family in Cambridge, Ohio earlier this summer. The dinner was quickly adjourned when the McKivitzes learned that Colton was on the cover of the Athlon Sports Big 12 season preview magazine.
“I was pretty surprised by that,” McKivitz said. “You don’t expect to see an offensive lineman on the front of something like that.”
From dinner, the family drove an hour to Wheeling, the nearest entry point into Big 12 country.
