Michael Ballenger

I’m blessed to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Denison University! A huge thank you to my parents for their endless support throughout this journey. I’d also like to thank all the coaches and trainers who have helped me along the way — Coach Gilliand, Coach Bills, Coach Casey, Coach Staley, Coach Benson, Coach McCloskey, David Dennis, Connor Barber, and many others. Finally, a special thank you to Coach Sullivan and Coach Quinn for this incredible opportunity. Go Big Red!

Had a good showcase at @PrepRedzone yesterday. Thank you to the coaches who helped me improve my skills and got in contact with me after the showcase. @PrepRedzoneIL @CoachSeveCUC @Coach_KalamaK @ScoutingA1

Happy Birthday to this guy, I love you @MikeBallenger5

@JackNimesheim Seen it in action, impressive stuff.

I am 4-5 years out of my eating prime, but for certain foods (e.g. spaghetti, skirt steak, lemon pepper wings) I can still turn the jets on

I like to think I’m a good writer but no words can properly express just how grateful I am for the @DUFootball program. Memories of a lifetime and relationships that will LAST a lifetime.

Craig’s Celebration of Life will be held on March 16th in Phoenix, Arizona. Please wear your Sunday best! A big thank you to those that have donated to our GoFundMe (link in bio), it means the world to our family as we grieve this monumental loss. 💔

This is the best college basketball team of all time I don’t care what anyone says

This is @mrschelsearoh, Craig’s wife. I wanted to let all of his followers know that after an 18-month battle with Stage IV colon cancer, God brought Craig home on Monday, February 26th. Craig was not very public with his battle, as he truly just wanted to focus on bringing the best content and building the best products he could. He laid out a timeline for his business so stay tuned… Many have asked how they can help, I’ve attached our GoFundMe to this post. gofund.me/2bff4677
