As the college football season kicks off, one team in Georgia is making headlines not just for their athletic performance, but for a deeper, spiritual, Christian transformation. At Shorter University, a private Baptist institution in Rome, Georgia, 48 members of the football team have publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ, marking a moment of revival within the program.

Ahead of their preseason training, all 150 players on the team attended a Sunday service at Life Church in Rome. During the service, Pastor Jason Stockton delivered a message that resonated deeply with the players. According to team chaplain Topher Stockton, 48 of them stood up in response, feeling a conviction to commit their lives to Christ.

“This is more than just football,” said head coach Zach Morrison. “It’s about the lives that are being transformed on and off the field. Seeing these young men take such bold steps in their faith is a testament to God‘s power and presence in this program.”

Following their decisions, 17 players took the next step in their spiritual journey by participating in a water baptism—right on the football field. The event was an emotional moment for the team, with Morrison later sharing his feelings on social media: “God is Good! WOW! I’m just in awe of the glory and power of God. I was crying tears of joy trying to hold it together! So proud to lead this team!”

For many of the players, this moment was life-changing. Junior running back Brent Brown admitted that he had long struggled with doubts about his salvation. But when he attended the service at Life Church, everything became clear.

“At Life Church, I felt, ‘This is it,’ and made a decision that changed my life,” Brown shared.

Junior linebacker Kobe Butts also experienced a profound awakening that morning. “That morning I felt chills and knew it was time. God showed up in my and my (football) brothers’ lives,” he said.

The movement of faith within the team has led to a noticeable shift in their culture. Beyond football practice and games, the players are now gathering for Bible study and holding each other accountable in their spiritual growth.

“They are still dedicated to football and school,” Morrison said, “but they are significantly dedicated to Christ.”

The impact of this revival extends beyond Shorter University. Morrison pointed out that similar faith movements are happening at other colleges, including Ohio State University, where players recently led hundreds of students to Christ.

For Shorter’s football team, this season is about more than wins and losses—it’s about faith, family, and purpose. With faith at the forefront, these young athletes are embracing a new kind of victory—one that lasts beyond the football field.
