Comments from Coach McCulloch
'Chad is an example of a young man who made himself into a good football player. He represents VCSU in whatever he does. When I think of Chad I think of a young man who has sacrificed a tremdous amount of his life to do things the right way for our team. I am thankful for the opportunity to have coached him and proud of the man he has become.'
