The career resuscitation of former Gulf High football standout Alton Voss is nearing its fruition.
Voss, sober for 14 months since his career was derailed by substance abuse and a prescription-drug addiction, has been invited to join Division II Grand Valley State in Allendale, Mich., as a walk-on in 2013.
"For me to kind of have a second chance...I'm blessed to really have the doors open up the way they have," Voss said by phone Wednesday from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A onetime USF signee who left the program and later flamed out at two junior colleges, Voss has completed the in-patient program at CMI Abasto, a Buenos Aires treatment facility. Now in the outpatient segment, he lives in a nearby apartment and works as an intern in the office of the facility, which boasts a 100-percent success rate among those who complete the treatment.
