To say the odds were stacked against Christian Febbo's dreams of playing Division I college football may be the understatement of the century. Ninety-nine percent of high school football players never play Division I football. For Febbo, who only picked up the sport as a high school junior at Wilmington High School. a tiny public school in Massachusetts, and who didn't earn a starting spot until his senior year, the odds were even more extreme. But Febbo simply refused to let his dream die, working hard from sun up until sun down, long after his season had ended, even when his phone wasn't ringing and their were no recruiters in sight. Febbo battled the elements, self doubt, and depression, toiling alone throughout the winter. And in the end, the impossible dream became Febbo's reality when he signed to play football for for Stonehill College.
