Jonathan Crompton is already a communications major, so it’s a not a huge surprise that Tennessee’s starting quarterback will try his hand at writing this fall.

Crompton, along with 21 other college football players from across the country, will write a weekly column this fall for a new online initiative created by The Sporting News.

The columns will focus on both on-field and off-field aspects of being a student-athlete and coincide with the launch of Sporting News Today later this month.

Crompton’s column can be found online at www.sportingnewstoday.com beginning with the site’s launch July 23.

Other players scheduled to participate are Marvin Austin (North Carolina), Alex Boone (Ohio State), Antoine Campbell (Alabama), Hunter Cantwell (Louisville), Chase Daniel (Missouri), Cullen Harper (Clemson), George Hypolite (Colorado), Tyson Jackson (LSU), Michael Johnson (Georgia Tech), Alex Mack (Cal), Sen’Derrick Marks (Auburn), Colt McCoy (Texas), Ryan McDonald (Illinois), Scott McKillop (Pitt), Mike Nixon (Arizona State), Curtis Painter (Purdue), Todd Peterson (Nebraska), Chris Pressley (Wisconsin), Ryan Purvis (Boston College), Myron Rolle (Florida State) and Pat White (West Virginia).

Drew Edwards covers University of Tennessee football. He may be reached at 865-342-6274.
