Mark Zupan’s Professional Career

After playing varsity football and soccer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he won a scholarship to Florida Atlantic University. On October 14, 1993, Zupan got intoxicated with teammates at a bar after a soccer game, then fell into the back of friend Chris Igoe’s truck to sleep. Igoe eventually left the pub, unknowing that Zupan was sleeping in the back. Igoe lost control of his vehicle while driving drunk, and Zupan was flung from the pickup bed, over a fence, and into a canal, where he clung on a limb for 14 hours until he was discovered by a passing.
