Colton Sheets back as MT honorary captain
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee's good luck charm is back.
Colton Sheets, an 11-year-old Blue Raider fan and cancer survivor, will serve as MT's honorary team captain Saturday for the third season in a row.
The Blue Raiders have never lost with Sheets as a captain. They clobbered Charlotte 73-14 in 2015 with him in attendance before winning in thrilling fashion over LA Tech last year, 38-34.
If you ask Colton, there's no way the Blue will lose Friday night to Marshall, either.
"I'm confident MTSU is going to win again," he said.
Colton was on hand Wednesday with his dad, Tim, to meet up with his favorite team at practice.
