COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Arizona State OL Chip Sarafin Reveals His Gay in 'Compete Magazine' Interview

Arizona State offensive lineman Edward "Chip" Sarafin became the first publicly gay football player in the FBS when he acknowledged his sexuality in an interview with Joshua Wyrick of Compete Magazine, a publication designed to highlight the exploits of gay athletes.

"It was really personal to me, and benefitted my peace of mind greatly," Sarafin, who came out to teammates last spring, told Wyrick.  

The piece does not delve into many specifics about how he told teammates or about their reaction. Wyrick instead focuses on Sarafin's goals in the medical field and his work with the Pat Tillman Foundation.
