He "made it out"!
I have a lot of respect for a guy who came back after following his dream and get the degree...For his kids!
Smart man!
That kind of fortitude will pay many dividends in life!

Sometimes the list of student athletes graduated is provided. Does anyone know if that exists for this semester?

Thanks for sharing! I saw that several redshirt juniors graduate that were major contributors to the football team this past year. I hope the success they and the team realized this past season will influence them to begin graduate studies at Tech so they can continue playing.

Congratulations to all on that list but special acknowledgement should go to Jarrett Jack for wanting that diploma while playing pro b'ball.

He said he missed out on the past graduations by "chasing" his dream.
His boys were his motivation to graduate and he will be back 2031- 2032 to see them graduate from Tech

Hats off to these SA's. I "got out" of Tech...and played intramural sports while there. It takes a lot to get out while playing sports. Now you may ask, does intramural sports take up as much time as FB or BB at this level? Of course not, but the difference in time spent on the practice field/ film room/weight room/etc. vs. what the intramural "athlete" spent at Spiro's, MJ Pippin, One-Eyed Jack's, Manuel's Tavern and Moe's and Joe's back in the day was negligible. My hat's are off to these warriors of the gridiron and classroom.

Did you all see last night on ESPN Sportscenter, they did a couple minute clip on Jarrett Jack "making the grade". Showed him crossing the stage and getting his degree at graduation. Had some real nice things to say about Jarrett. As my brother says "cool beans".

Hopefully they are just as good at AB as their daddy!

A question for those of you who majored in IM...is it considered the norm to "get out" in 4 (or less) years for this major?

P.S. congrats to all those, FB players or not, who "got out" the other day.

It took me 5.5 years going every summer except my first one. Now dropping to 7 hours my 2nd quarter did not help & I never took more than 15 hours per quarter. But I finally #GotOut.
