CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Gwacham redshirted in football his freshman year at Oregon State, but took part in track and field events. He has moonlighted as a high jumper off and on for the Beavers, even though the school doesn't have an official men's track and field team. Back in 2010, Gwacham finished fourth at the conference championships with a leap of 7 feet, 1 1/2 inches. It was always hoped that because of his height and athleticism (in addition to his jumping ability he's also fast), Gwacham would become an easy red-zone target for quarterback Sean Mannion. But instead, Markus Wheaton and Brandin Cooks -- both now in the NFL -- developed into Oregon State's go-to receivers. This season, junior Richard Mullaney is poised for a breakout at the position.
