Roughly a dozen Tempe Corona del Sol football players went under the razor this week.
In one of those wacky team rituals, some Aztec players had their heads shaven into a mohawk of sorts. Most of them had short hair to begin with, so their heads are shaven on the sides with a strip of hair left on the top.
Not exactly a 70s punk rock ‘do.
The Aztecs look more like Chad Johnson (left) than a free-thinking anarchist.
There was altering opinions on who started this mini-wave of shearing, but Evan Altheide’s name came up more than once.
Most of the team’s linemen got clipped, although receiver/defensive back Eric Benson was one of the few skill position players to have it done. He said he’s not a fan of seeing himself shaven, but knows it’ll grow back eventually.
Others, including running back J.R. Hamm (who has Eric Byrnes-style hair), declined the invitation. And they got an earful about it.
“They like their hair too much,” Benson joked. “A bunch of pretty boys.”
