Gridiron missionaries: LDS football players currently serving missions
Josh Ferrin
Some missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have taken some time off from football in order to go away and serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for two years.
Here's a list of college football players who are currently serving a mission.
This list doesn't include every missionary in the FBS. Readers who notice missionaries missing from the list can email bbullock@desnews.com with any additional information.

Did not see them on the list, both are currently serving LDS Missions in the US.
Words can't begin to describe how touching this article is to parents who have sent sons or daughters on missions. To think that each of the 85 missionaries featured in this article were worthy to serve a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, at their own expense, receiving no pay, to put their educational and athletic careers on hold to selflessly sacrifice two years of their lives at such a prime time is heartwarming indeed. Thank you for this inspiring article. It has brightened the day of many a parent and is a great testimony booster to those who look up to these fine young men.
