Sean Berton - College

College

Sean was red-shirted his freshmen year at West Virginia University(WVU) where he gained weight to become a better blocker for the mountaineers. Teammates such as Anthony Becht, Mark Bulger, and Brad Lewis had high hopes for Berton's performance in the years to come. He began playing his sophomore year as the teams starting tight end. At the end of his sp[homore year, his head coach of the time Don Nehlen retired, bringing in a new coach Rich Rodriguez. Since Rich Rodriguez's offense would not utilize tight ends that often, Berton opted to transfer to a different school.

North Carolina State University was the first choice Sean had in mind. He met with coach Curt Cignetti, the tight end coach of North Carolina University, and that seemed to decide it for Berton. When he transferred he realized he had to sit out for one year, which left him with one year of eligibility. Berton played with such players as Philip Rivers and Jerricho Cotchery.After his senior season Berton received the Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC) All-ACC Tight End position award. Sean was expected to be a late round draft pick, but was later picked up as a free agent to join the National Football League (NFL).
