“Words are very powerful,” Coleman said. “When people use words in the right way, it can control a lot of different emotions and perspectives. Instead of just writing to write, I try to capture beautiful moments around campus, because it’s about being more than a football player. I want to make sure the world knows me as more than Kendall Coleman, No. 55.”

“Poetry helps a lot to not only internalize what I’ve got going on, but actually get it out there, get it on paper, and be able to accept it for what it is and move forward from there,” Coleman said. “Poems take me on a mental adventure.”

Poetry is a refuge for the brain — reading poems can help the brain cope with turmoil, according to a study by the University of California. Poetry is quiet. Sports, especially football, are loud and physical. That’s why Coleman finds peace in his notes app, typing away feelings or describing scenes.

In October, in front of about 40 people at Schine Student Center, Coleman walked up on stage and performed a poem in honor of the families of those who lost loved ones in Pan Am Flight 103. He entitled it, “Remember me?” see coleman page 4

from page 3

coleman Do you remember me?

Remember all the places I told you I wanted to see?

Remember I had all these aspirations of things I wanted to be?

Remember how much I used to care? And all the love I used to share Hoping my love would travel around the world like waves in the sea?

Understand that these people are just like you and me.

Understand that they are more than just a memory Whose souls will never ask “do you remember me?”

Afterward, Coleman met up with former Syracuse tight end and fellow poet Cameron MacPherson, a 2016 Remembrance Scholar. MacPherson performed a poem in honor of Thomas Schultz, whom he represented for the week.

“What are you doing here? You’re a poet?”

MacPherson recalls asking Coleman.

“I was kind of blown away,” MacPherson said later.

dailyorange.com

Coleman wrote up the eight-line piece and performed it because, a few days earlier, Remembrance Scholars had visited one of his classes and explained the gravity of the event. Pan Am Flight 103 exploded in 1988 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Thirty-five SU students on the flight who were returning to the United States from studies abroad were killed. Coleman felt inspired to utilize his talent and create a tribute for them.

That wasn’t Coleman’s first performance. Last spring, Hernz Laguerre, another former Syracuse football player, needed a favor. His friend in a sorority was asking for men to perform in a pageant.

Laguerre knew Coleman was a “stand-out individual,” so he asked him if he would get on stage for a few minutes. Because it was for charity, and Coleman wanted to do his friend a favor, he signed up.

He decided the topic of his poem would be a friend, Leah, which means “Lemon tree” in Greek. He wrote about the beauty of her name, tying in a lemon tree as a figure. He said he felt comfortable despite being the only freshman to perform among a group of all juniors and seniors. After the performance, a member of the audience walked up to him and said the tone

reminded him of J. Cole, one of Coleman’s sources for inspiration.

“I was nervous,” Coleman said. “The spotlight shines in your face, but I got a good feel, got into my rhythm and went about how I wanted it to go.”

Coleman rereads his own work to familiarize himself with where his thoughts were, who he was and how he has grown since he wrote a poem. When he started writing, he wanted everything to rhyme. Now, he just focuses on telling a story and understands that not all lines have to rhyme. They just have to be in the right spot.

I am lost ...but that’s okay I have lost my money I have lost my car I have lost my relationships ...but that’s okay I have lost my happiness I have lost my anger I have lost my sadness ...but that’s okay I have lost my will I have lost my motivation I have lost my spirit ...but that’s okay It was never mine to hold onto anyway

What set Coleman on his quest for his hobby wasn’t a love for poetry or being called a bookworm for hunkering down in a library reading books and short stories. What sparked his love was an elementary school literary assignment, when he was assigned a report on a poet. Coleman and his mother, Nikki, drove to a local library and found a poem by Langston Hughes, “Mother to Son.” It told story of life struggles, how a mother worked hard and “how she passed the torch to her son.”

“The message there is, ‘You have to keep pushing forward,’” Coleman said. “That one has stuck with me for a long time now. When I see my mom, or hear her voice, I know she’s there and what she did in helping me get where I am.”

In seventh grade, Coleman waited until the last minute to finish a writing assignment. But he whipped up a few lines of poetry and “the words just started flowing.” It wasn’t until his senior year of high school that he picked up poetry for real, again thanks to a school assignment. The words came naturally to him, a sign that poetry could be worth pursuing. He said last week that he’d love to involve poetry in his career. But he won’t hang up or frame any of his work until he deems it good enough. He hasn’t yet. mguti100@syr.edu | @Matthewgut21

Worth the weight Chris Slayton, inspired by his stepfather to play football, has grown into a leader on Syracuse’s defensive line

By Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

C

hris Slayton didn’t want to play football before high school.

But he was big and his stepdad, Lem Slaughter, knew Slayton had potential. So he pushed him to pick up the sport freshman year. “(Football was) all I knew,” Slaughter said. “So I got all my boys into football.”

When he stepped on the field, Slayton, who really never played sports competitively before, asked to play quarterback. He had played catch with Slaughter all his life. Throwing a football around the yard was really all Slayton knew about the game.

Seeing Slayton’s massive frame, coaches rejected that idea. They placed him on the defensive line.

When the season began, Slayton didn’t like the sport, he said. It confused him.

“I wanted to quit,” Slayton said, “but my mom told me I couldn’t. (She) saw it in me.”

Two years after asking to play quarterback, Slayton lined up on the starting defensive line at Crete-Monee (Illinois) High School. It was then Slayton realized the possibility of playing at the next level.

Slayton lived in the gym and worked to become a “student of the game,” he said. The college offers poured in and Slayton decided on Syracuse. He now enters his redshirt senior year as the team’s active leader in career games played, tackles for loss, sacks and forced fumbles.

But that progression into SU’s star defender wouldn’t have happened without his stepdad.

Slaughter said it was a shock when, starting Slayton’s junior year, the high schooler was on the starting lineup. “… He went way beyond our expectations,” Slaughter said.

That season set the stage for Slayton’s path. For the first time, Slayton played with confidence. He knew his potential. Once he worked on his techniques and devoted more time to lifting weights, the rest followed suit.

He dropped basketball and dedicated all his attention to football. At 6-foot-4, Slayton knew he
