Hello college football fans! My name is Sam and I am a Lead Solution Engineer at Tableau. My journey into the world of data visualization has led me to embrace a unique passion: college football. As a former student equipment manager at Iowa State University (#CyclONEnation), college football became an integral part of my life and shaped my interests and passion around collegiate athletics. Now, after over three years of engaging with the #DataFam on Tableau Public, I'm excited to present a curated collection of college football data visualizations that capture the sport's essence like never before.

College football isn't just about games; it's about stories waiting to be told. My journey has revolved around using data to explore these untold narratives.
