During his four seasons, he earned all-conference, all-state, conference player of the year, McDonald’s All-Star, and McDonald’s All-Academic honors. Christopher also graduated from Skowhegan as the Class of 2019 salutatorian and with numerous all-conference, all-state, and player of the year honors across his baseball and football careers.
