Good for him. Hope it leads to good things for him
Hope he learned something he can apply in life. I think D-1 schools should offer a 4 year vocational certificate in a particular skill that players can really use later in life and make good money. Like being an electrician, carpenter, plumber, welder, brick mason, tile installer, dry wall installation, chef, truck driver, etc, etc. I know a bunch of guys and gals who went this route and make way more money than most college grads. Not everybody coming out of high school is equipped to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, architect, accountant, etc.
I got a diploma when I graduated from high school. I got a degree when I graduated from State. Just saying.
It's called junior college.Quote:

Jerrel Power is the poster child for what college sports can do. Came from a messed up school district that completely failed him, and used his opportunity to get a degree, even working at it past his time on college campus.Quote:

Just curious to know if it is the old General Studies/General Science degree that is not worth the paper it is written on...
That's great for him.Quote:

Hum.... anything like Jackson Callaway?Quote:

They somehow qualify for Ole Miss or MSU in order to play football at a high level when they truly should be at a JC.Quote:

I'm going to give him his props on this, ole miss got him in to play football. they were finished with him after he had used up his eligibility. It seems like he did this on his own later. He can be proud of this no matter what the degree is in. I have a Petroleum engineering degree, but with most degrees to a potential employer that degree shows that you had the fortitude to stick something out until you accomplished that goal.
He can qualify to become an officer in the military, if he passes other mandatory test, through OCS. Army don't care what degree you have as long as it's a BS from an accredited college. Nurses and doctors can be different.Quote:
