This edition of the Life of Fitz podcast features host Tim Fitzgerald calling former Kansas State strong safety Maurice Mack in Houston. Maurice was the running back who followed Darren Sproles at Olathe North High School in Kansas City and there was no drop off in production at the position. He then followed Sproles to Kansas State, but he switched to the defensive side of the ball, donning the No. 24 jersey for the Wildcats. First a strong safety and then an undersized outside linebacker, Mack was one heck of a football player who went from winning a Big 12 title as a freshman to playing his senior season in the first year of the flawed Ron Prince era of K-State football. Now, he coaches at Humble High School in Houston and he also is using his new podcast, In the Life of a Mack, to speak about issues he sees in the world in which we live.
