EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third story in a series counting down the top five University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football players of the past decade.

Russ Huesman, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program’s head coach at the time, expressed excitement in February 2012 when offensive lineman Corey Levin chose the Mocs, even though it wasn’t always trending in that direction.

“I was dead set on going to App State,” Levin told the Times Free Press on Tuesday afternoon. “I took a couple of unofficial visits there, but as far as official visits, Chattanooga was my first one.”

Ironically, one of his unofficial visits to the school in Boone, North Carolina, was for a game against UTC.

A week after his visit to UTC, Levin visited Georgia Southern and had an official visit planned to Appalachian State the following week, but he never went.
