Alan Gendreau Biography

On the outside, Alan Gendreau seemed like any other college athlete when he kicked for Middle Tennessee from 2008-11.  However, Gendreau came out as gay to his Blue Raiders teammates.  His story was chronicled following his collegiate career in 2013 by Outsports.  Gendreau’s teammates largely accepted him and he had a standout career at MTSU.  He was a two-time first-team All-Sun Belt selection and finished with 295 points, a conference record.  Gendreau originally came out at age 16 and the announcement met resistance among his deeply religious family.  The Apopka, Florida native was a two-sport star at Orangewood Christian.  He was a two-time All-State pick in football and two-time Orlando Sentinel Player of the Year in soccer.  Gendreau set an area high school soccer record with 172 goals.  It was a dream to make the NFL and be the first openly gay player in the league, but a shaky senior year in college derailed those plans.  Still, Gendreau’s story and courage is an inspiration to many.
