Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt has grabbed national headlines by helping raise $27 million through his YouCaring crowdfunding campaign to help Texas residents affected by Hurricane Harvey. Watt, who played tight end for the Chippewas in 2007, is not the only former football player helping out in the Houston area.
Alex Fine, a former defensive back for the Chippewas, graduated in 2015. He started a personal training company, Alex Fine Performance, for athletes and celebrities.
