Logan Hessbrook is used to stepping in and playing a significantly larger role than was initially intended.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound tight end for the Central Michigan University football team, has been there before and done that before.
As a high school junior at Ithaca the defensive end was forced to play quarterback on the biggest of stages when he was thrust into the spotlight during the first quarter of the Division 6 state title game from Ford Field on Nov. 23, 2012. As it was Travis Smith, Ithaca’s starting signal caller for the entire season, went down with an injury on the second offensive play thus propelling Hessbrook to the forefront.
