Virginia Tech- Nekos Brown #47 Defensive End(2006-2009)

I always knew that God had control over my life but I was not living to please him. When I met Johnny Shelton, his influence guided me in the right direction of how to live my life in the eyes of God. Life became so much easier in every aspect when I began to walk the straight and narrow. None of us win every battle but as long as we keep pressing and put it all in God’s hands we will come out fine. The FCA’s providence of Johnny as our Chaplain has been moving to our football program as a whole on and off the field. I Thank Johnny Shelton and the FCA from the bottom of my heart for having such an impact on my life.
