Tennessee basketball forward, Wayne Chism, has been chosen as the `CAREacter STAR ATHLETE' for his outstanding success on and off the court.
The Bolivar, Tenn. native is majoring in African-American studies and just finished his first semester at Tennessee.
The CAREacter Program is based on a five-point star system that includes the basic traits of a true champion, whether on or off the court. Those traits are attitude, character, grades, community service and performance.
Every two weeks the UT basketball coaching staff selects one student-athlete as UT's "Star Athlete" based on these five criteria. As a reward for their accomplishments, these students will be recognized and presented with a T-shirt and a letter acknowledging them as their school's "Star Athlete."
