Former Middle Tennessee kicker was openly gay with teammates, coaches

[joeybee12]

For the past couple weeks, gay players in college football has become an interesting topic. There’s been a lot of speculation about how a team might treat a gay player on the field or in the locker room.

Middle Tennessee already knows that answer. From 2008-11, it had the first openly gay college football player on its roster, but never went public about it.

Kicker Alan Gendreau was out in high school and when he joined Middle Tennessee as a freshman in 2008, he had no problem sharing his sexual orientation with teammates and friends.

And no one treated him differently.
