Most offensive linemen don’t want to be recognized and Chanston Jeter of Ripley is one of those guys.For an offensive lineman to be recognized
that usually means he failed at his job and was called for a penalty in most cases.However, there are occasions when offen-
sive linemen get a pat on the back or the “’at a boy” . . . and when they do…one hardly ever hears much about it. But, in our inter-view with Jeter, we were able to get the inside scoop of the life of a Tiger linemen.Jeter, a graduate of Ripley High School,
recently discussed with Northeast Public In-formation Intern Jessie Perriman his take on being an offensive lineman at Northeast. The big 6-3, 300-pound football player explained his take on what it means to play the posi-tion alongside his teammates and elaborated on their roles.For Jeter and the rest of the Northeast line, it
has been a reversal of roles from the 2010 to the 2011 season. Northeast has gone to more of a passing game during the 2011 season after relying on a bevy of running backs in the 2010 season – including Jaquise Cook of Ripley – Jeter’s former high school teammate – who ran for 824 total yards and ten touch-downs during Jeter’s freshman campaign at Northeast.With this type of change in offensive
schemes between his freshman and sopho-more year, it forced Jeter and his fellow line-man to switch techniques as well in order for them to be productive.“In pass blocking it’s all about finesse,” Jeter
said. “You have to keep him (the opponent) from getting to the quarterback. Run blocking is just putting your nose into it.”These type of changes on the field put play-
ers like Jeter into a mode of adapting and ad-justing their game so that the offensive unit can be successful. It also helps Jeter to learn how to think more about what he is doing and implementing a good work ethic has been the key for Jeter’s thinking ability both on and off the field.Jeter understands that hard work can pay off
on the field and in his life outside of football and his knowledge and ability to work well with others has prepared him for both.“I had to work hard for two years, and it has
allowed me to learn more about the game of football and life, and how to be more intense with both,” Jeter said. “A whole year at ju-nior college can help you in a lot of different
ways.”Jeter also credited his maturing process to
the Northeast coaching staff that had an influ-ence on his decision to come to play junior college football out of high school.“The coaches recruited me heavily,” Jeter
said. “It was a nice environment so I thought why not…and my time spent here has been great.”Having the right environment, good coach-
es, and a positive attitude has helped the for-mer Ripley Tiger two-sport athlete adjust to the college life.Jeter, who played baseball up to his junior
year of high school, knows that to succeed ei-ther on the gridiron, on the diamond, or in the classroom, you just have to put all your en-ergy and effort into it if you want it to work.“You got to be willing to sacrifice your time
and find some balance,” Jeter said. “If you aren’t willing to put in the time it takes to be good, then it is not going to happen.”Understanding the importance of time, Jeter
decided to stick to football and didn’t pursue baseball at this level and now splits his time between his studies and football. Whether it is the football study hall groups, the available tutors…as Jeter said, “it’s easy to get help if you need it, you just got to want it,” Jeter makes sure he is taking full advantage of his opportunities.However, with all the studying and football
practice that takes place, Jeter knows that he still has to have some time for some fun. Life cannot always be serious and Jeter
makes sure that he throws some comedy into the mix – even though a lineman’s job, pro-tecting quarterbacks from the threat of angry defensive players, is serious.
For Jeter, the moment of fun is letting loose with his teammates before practice.“I like faking that I am playing quarter-
back before we go into practice,” Jeter said. “That’s probably one of the funniest things I like to do. I should have been a quarterback.”All joking aside, Jeter realizes that a
300-pound quarterback probably wouldn’t fly and that makes it that much more fun to pretend…even if it is just for a brief moment before clocking in for practice. Besides…quarterbacks get most of the at-
tention and for Jeter and other offensive line-men, that’s just not in their DNA.“I sort of love being in the background,”
Jeter said. “Quarterbacks get the glory but…if it wasn’t for both lines on both sides of the ball, neither team would be successful.”Being successful is one thing that Jeter
knows, in his two years at Northeast, he has helped lead the Tigers to a 10-5 record com-ing into tonight’s game against Itawamba.When asked about his “secret to success”
Jeter simply replied with ‘food.’“Just feed us and everything else will fall
into place” Jeter jokingly said. “If you feed us and keep us happy then when it comes to game time we will be ready to roll.”

Northeast-Itawamba hIstory
Last five meetings2010 -- Itawamba, 20-172009 -- Northeast, 28-212008 -- Itawamba, 12-92007 -- Itawamba, 20-132006 -- Itawamba, 29-24
Series: Itawamba 32-16-3.
Notes: Itawamba is one of only two schools that Northeast has faced off with every year during its 52-year football history dating back to 1949. Northwest is the other school. With the proximity of both campuses – just 50 miles apart, Northeast and Itawamba have a geographic rivalry as well by being the two closest North Division opponents in the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC). In the last five meetings between the two schools, the fi-nal score has been decided by seven or less points. Itawamba took a close one in Fulton during the 2010 season 20-17 but Northeast captured the last time ICC came to Boonev-ille 28-21 in 2009.
