Guerra, a 5-11, 190-pound sophomore from Miami, led all receivers in the game with 12 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown – an incredible back-handed, one-hand 30-yard grab in the front corner of the end zone between a pair of Mountain Lion defenders to convert on a third-and-20 play which earned him a spot in a montage of highlights fea-turing great one-handed catches which garnered the No. 3 spot on ESPN’s SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays of the Day Saturday.

A diamond in the rough coming out of high school, Fabian Guerra has turned into a gem of a find for Fairmont State University’s football team.

In a recent loss to Concord he made one of the most incredible backhanded, one-handed catches for a touchdown between two defenders that has ever been seen. The grab got him a top three spot on ESPN’s SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays of the Day.

Prior to that he turned in a 13-catch, 247-yard, one touchdown performance in week one against Notre Dame. The 247 receiving yards are a Fairmont State sin-gle-game record breaking the old mark of 210 yards set by Ed Coleman way back in 1984.

And in a week four victory over West Virginia State he made a clutch 12-yard reception in heavy tra"c across the mid-dle to convert on a fourth-and-five play and later capped the same drive with a beautiful diving 15-yard touchdown catch in the front corner of the end zone to help FSU secure a 24-12 win.

Ask any current Fairmont State Univer-sity football player who Tom Brady is and you’ll likely get a correct answer from each and every one of them.

They know Brady is the quarterback of the National Football League’s New England Patriots who has led his team to five Super Bowl appearances and three victories in the big game.

Ask them who his guard/center was in Super Bowl XXXVI in 2001 when the Pa-triots won their first league champion-ship on Adam Vinatieri’s 48-yard field goal on the game’s final play and you’ll likely stump them all.

Well, maybe not now, but when 12-year NFL veteran and two-time Super Bowl champion Mike Compton first arrived on Fairmont State University’s campus as an assistant football coach in January of 2013 not many people realized who he was or what he had accomplished in his life.

Compton’s transition from player to coach has been a smooth one and he did it in a fashion which is to be respect-ed. After completing his 12th and final season in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2004 Compton retired from playing and in 2006 took an assistant coaching position at Tazewell High School in Tazewell, Va. After two years there he became the head coach at Pat-rick Henry High School in Emory, Va. un-til 2011 when he entered the collegiate ranks as the o!ensive line coach at NAIA Bluefield (Va.) College. Then in January of 2013 he accepted his current position at Fairmont State.

Compton came from humble beginnings. He was born in Richlands, Va. and raised in a double-wide trailer in McGuire Valley, Va. He went on to star at Richlands High School in baseball, wrestling and football where he attracted the attention of Division I coaches. He signed with WVU in 1988, redshirted and played for the Mountaineers from 1989-92 starting his final three seasons at center. His senior season he was a consensus All-Amer-ican selection and a first-team Academic All-American.

In the spring of 1993 Compton was selected in the third round of the NFL draft as the 68th overall pick by the Detroit Lions. He played eight seasons with the Lions, who made five playo! appearances during that span and he helped pave the way for NFL Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders.

Yet it’s likely that most Falcon fans have no idea who Belser is. That’s fine. Belser, you see, takes it all in stride. He’s very familiar with the term anonymity and has been for quite some time. He un-derstands his role on the team and does it week in and week out to near perfec-tion.

Belser was born in Fairbanks, Alaska when his father was stationed there with the United State Army. The fam-ily moved to Germany for a year when Belser was two and then settled in North Port, Fla. where he grew up and starred in football in high school at North Port.

In high school his o!ensive line coach was former FSU all-conference o!ensive lineman Jimmy Young, who played for the Falcons from 1993-96. It was Young who turned him onto Fairmont State.
