He entered the NFL in 2010 as a second-round pick, or 48th overall, for the Carolina Panthers.

On the other hand, Gysin reportedly earned her All-America status during her junior year in college back in 2008, after stacking up on accolades in high school. She played as an outside hitter for the University of South Carolina (USC) until 2009, finishing with 1,514.0 points, 1,313 kills 1,034 digs and 211 blocks, Heavy.com listed. In 2011, she shifted to beach volleyball and also garnered a couple of honors there.
Outside of her very fruitful career, the report added that she is a marketing practitioner with a Master's degree in Communication and Media Studies and a model.
