Behind every winning college football team, there is a ball boy, one part assistant, one part cheerleader, one part whatever the f**k needs to done. Mostly they go unnoticed… until now. The two teams competing in the first ever College Football Playoff game happen to have the most high-profile ball boys the game has ever known.
Last year, FSU’s Frankie Grizzle-Malgrat–better known as “Red Lightning”, became an internet sensation showing his intense commitment to the program during the last 2014 BCS championship game. This year, Oregon’s Kwame Mitchell – aka Chocolate Thunder, caught the media’s eye with his talent (and his hair), earning what may very well be the first ever sports management scholarship in CFB. What are the odds that the two most prominent (only known) ball boys college football would meet head to head at the 2015 Rose Bowl?
So we want to know. When it comes to college football ball boys (and in the spirit and celebration of two of the great college football programs) Who You Got?
