John graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors from Jacksonville State University in just 3.5 years. After suffering a football career ending injury with the Gamecocks, he was named the football equipment director, while still in school, becoming the youngest Director of Equipment in all of college football.
After graduating from JSU, John accepted a similar position at Arkansas State University, where he is currently finishing his MBA. His goal is to pursue a career as Director of Athletics for an FBS program.
Congratulations on your accomplishments, John!
