On National Signing Day, Lake Creek High School senior Chance Niesner signed his offer to play football for Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y. Niesner played left offensive tackle for the Lake Creek Lions in Montgomery, and was named captain all three years he lettered while being named second team all-county, second team all-district, first team all-district (twice), academic all-district (four times), and first-team academic all-state. Colgate University is a Division I school which competes in the Patriot League. At the signing ceremony, Niesner thanked Colgate for the opportunity to continue playing a sport he loves, his parents and siblings for pushing him to be the best he could be, his coaches Kennedy and White for their guidance and, above all, gave thanks to God who made it possible, quoting Proverbs 3, verses 5-6.
