Early Life

On January 27th, 1959, Anthony Cris Collinsworth was born in Dayton, Ohio. His parents both worked in education, and his father eventually rose to the position of countywide superintendent for Brevard County schools. The family relocated to Melbourne, Florida in 1963 from Ohio. At the time, Cris was four years old. Collinsworth eventually enrolled at Astronaut High School, where his father was the headmaster. Cris was a gifted athlete who participated in a variety of sports during his time in high school and won the state 100-yard dash title. He was also recognised as an All-American quarterback for high school.

Cris kept up his promising play after accepting a football scholarship at the University of Florida. The longest touchdown pass in NCAA history was thrown by him against the Rice Owls and measured 99 yards. Collinsworth eventually moved to wide receiver. This turned out to be a smart choice, and he realised this was where he would really shine. In the end, he left the Gators with 120 receptions for 1,937 yards. There were 14 receiving touchdowns as a result.
