Alan Scott Gendreau (born May 27, 1989)[1] is an American former college football player for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.
He attended college at Middle Tennessee State University, where he chose to play football over soccer.
He also made the second longest field goal in Sun Belt Conference history and set multiple school placekicking records.
[4] He attended Orangewood Christian High School in Maitland, Florida, where he was a placekicker and a first-team all-state selection as a junior and senior.
After making 14-of-16 field goals and 27-of-30 extra points in his senior year, he was selected to play in the Central Florida All-Star game.
[6] The team represents the university in the Sun Belt Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
While his teammates, coaches, classmates, and friends knew of his sexual orientation, they made no mention of it to the media.
[3][4][a] In 2008, Gendreau began his college career with Middle Tennessee, who was led by head coach Rick Stockstill.
[10] On October 1 in a nationally televised home game on ESPN2, the team rallied to score a game-tying touchdown against Florida Atlantic as time expired.
Florida Atlantic called two consecutive timeouts in an attempt to disrupt Gendreau's concentration, but he made the game-winning extra point for a 14–13 Blue Raiders, and the fans subsequently stormed the field.
Gendreau was named Sunbelt Conference's Special Teams Player of the Week, the second time he had earned the honor.
[4] Kluwe believed that place-kicking, which is limited to one specific skill set, allowed proficient kickers to be successful even if they had taken a break from the game for years.
The channel features his own renditions and covers of several famous songs, including Home by Michael Bublé.
