CJ Christian was a hard-luck player initially who had trouble launching his career.
Former Florida International safety CJ Christian, who on Sunday committed to the University of Washington football team, comes from Normal, Illinois, which hardly describes the arc of his playing career.
After a year at the JC level, Christian turned up at Miami's Florida International University, where he turned three seasons of hard-nosed play into a UW scholarship after entering the transfer portal. "My whole college career has been fighting through adversity," said Christian, who made a spiritual conversion during his tough times.
He left FIU for the portal after the school fired his coach, Mike McIntyre, following three consecutive 4-8 seasons, all of which involved the safety from Normal. McIntyre previously was the head guy at San Jose State for three seasons and Colorado for six.
