Elon University safety Caleb Curtain has been named the Coastal Athletic Association Football’s Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. The prestigious award for the junior defensive back is the cherry on top of a long line of recognition this offseason. Curtain comes off a fantastic sophomore campaign where he led Elon with 80 total tackles, 54 solo tackles and four and a half sacks. At CAA Football Media Day on July 25, Curtain said he is excited about the award — as well as the opportunity to improve in this upcoming season.
The popular Gibsonville Mexican restaurant The Mission will reopen Aug. 22 with new updates, including new decor and drink options. Owner of The Mission Jeff Colgan said customers can expect new televisions featuring entertainment stations. He also said he wants customers to stay and enjoy their time, instead of leaving right after they finish their meals and drinks. While most of his customers are Elon students, Colgan said his customers vary to locals. With these updates, he said he hopes his restaurant will be a place for all to enjoy.
