Two days ago, redshirt senior offensive lineman Chip Sarafin was just another walk-on at ASU. A graduate student and Tillman Scholar, Sarafin was one of many "Scholar Ballers" who have made their way through head coach Todd Graham's football program. Then came Wednesday, as an interview with Complete Magazine revealed that Sarafin was gay, making him the first active openly gay athlete in the history of Division I college football. The announcement, which came while the football team was isolated from outsiders at Camp Tontozona near Payson, and the following support have thrust Sarafin into a spotlight he's not sure was coming. "(Coming out) is quite the relief.
