Calvin Knapp
Calvin Knapp is a Division 1 football player and shot-put thrower for the Utah State Aggies. He has performed at every level including high school, Division 2, JUCO, and now NCAA Division 1.
He earned second-team all-conference honors as a defensive lineman as a prep senior at Germantown High School in Jackson, Wisconsin... During his senior season, he led the conference with 8.5 sacks... Was also a state qualifier on the track & field team.
Calvin is the definition of the statement "What if." He has learned to silence the nay-sayers and ask himself "What if." "What if I switch position and put in 110 percent'" "What if I transfer schools and lose my scholarship for a better opportunity," "What if I wake up at 4 am everyday." Calvin has embraced this mindset and it has helped succeed at every level. Day-by-day he is proving all his doubters wrong and is enjoying doing so.
In this podcast Calvin talks about the hardworking it took to get where he is today. He also covers other topics including: Covid-19, The Utah State Aggies, The Jimmy Kimmel Bowl, Shot-Put, and so much more.
