His college career was highlighted by a number of school records, notably throwing for 8,574 yards. Chris earned many weekly and season Yankee Conference and Eastern Athletic Conference Association awards as well. His highest honor was being awarded the Golden Helmet, an extremely coveted achievement that so few receive. In 1995, Chris led his team to 6 last-minute drives to victory.

After being on the short list for 8 NFL teams, the Arena Football League was Chris’ next stop.
