Scholar. Athlete. Trailblazer.
Chandler Kirton arrived at Austin Peay without a single college offer. He left as
a two-year team captain, the holder of APSU's consecutive-starts record, and the university's
first finalist for the Campbell Trophy — college football's "Academic Heisman." His
story is one of many in our Spring 2026 issue, where you'll also meet a freshman who
raised her brother, an entire football team rewriting history, and Govs who are making
their mark long after commencement day.
