Touchdown! A Student-Athlete and Mentor Develop a Playbook for Undergraduate Research

Abstract
This is the story of a faculty member teaching a course on empirical research methods in English Studies to a class that included a student-athlete who played on an NCAA Division I football team. It is an improbable partnership and collaboration, all around, including the authorship of this article. Unlike the other students in the class, Cameron was not an English major. How would he tackle a research topic in this field? The narrative begins in mutual wariness and ends with a celebration of the transformative power of undergraduate research.
