A 2009 graduate and member of last year’s Central College football team recently signed a free agent contract for a major sports team – but not to play football. Matt Ver Meer is a member of a developmental pit crew for Hendrick Motorsports near Charlotte, North Carolina. Ver Meer says the opportunity came out of a half-joking suggestion from a former coach. The former receiver for the Dutch is learning the ropes as a tire carrier, and is joined on his new team by Cam Waugh (WAH), who also played receiver at Central.
