'She gave me a new meaning': Damon Terry opens up on Aubrie, the one who changed everything

Being a Division I football player, full-time student and serving coffee at Tim Horton's comes with a lot of responsibility. At least that’s how Central Michigan wide receiver Damon Terry felt early in his college career.

However, it wasn’t a test involving school or an opponent on the gridiron that changed Terry’s life. His imminent life-changing moment resided in the results of a pregnancy test on October 9, 2016.

Unaware of the upcoming battle and unprepared for it, Terry was set to be a father.

Discovering the news in Mount Pleasant during the football season, Terry immediately made a FaceTime call to his mother, Tashan Terry, in Lansing.
