Scott Frantz, the starting left tackle for Kansas State’s football team, told ESPN he is a gay man Thursday morning.
Frantz went public with the personal information on “SportsCenter” after privately informing his teammates at a players-only meeting last season. Frantz said he came out to his teammates while in tears, but they were completely supportive.
“I came out to my teammates and I’ve never felt so loved,” Frantz told ESPN reporter Holly Rowe during a televised interview at K-State.
Frantz said he later informed K-State football coach Bill Snyder, and he responded by telling Frantz it was no big deal and he was a good football player.
