Christman quickly became a leader on the field for the Eagles and led the team in batting average, OPS, RBI, home runs, and slugging percentage as a freshman. His production led him to an All-SBC First Team and Freshman Team selection, as well as the conference Freshman of the Year honor.
Before committing to Georgia Southern, Christman was a four-year letterwinner at Mary Persons High School, and was rated as the No. 60 catcher recruit in the country by Perfect Game. He was a four-time All-Region First Teamer and three-time offensive player of the year in Georgia.
