Episode description

Nick Wehby played football at the University of Indianapolis from 2010-2012 before a devastating injury off the field in the summer of 2013 ended his career and left him fighting to regain use of his arms and legs.  He talks about growing up in Mason, Ohio, how he got into football, his great career at Mason High School where he played offense, defense, and special teams, and the recruiting process that led him to choose Division II UIndy.  Nick then discusses his career at UIndy which included redshirting his Freshman year, playing Defensive Back, and a breakout Redshirt Sophomore year for himself and the team.  He explains the injury that happened in the summer of 2013 where he dove into a swimming pool and broke his neck, the doctors telling his parents he would never walk again, and Nick beating the odds and walking out of the hospital just a few weeks later.  He talks discusses how the Mason and UIndy Community rallied around him, the difficult rehabilitation process, and coming to terms with never being about to play football again.  Nick then discusses how he's feeling today and his relationship with Bachelor Nation's Sydney Lotuaco.
