John Urschel enrolls at MIT to pursue doctorate

It's no secret that Ravens' center John Urschel prides himself on his athletic pedigree. While Urschel's bread and butter is football, some would say he's a math geek first, and a football player second. Aside from being a NFL center, Urschel also holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Penn State, and has also had his works published in peer-reviewed mathematical journals. But even then, Urschel is striving for an even more distinguished title.

In a Tweet sent Tuesday morning, Urschel announced that he would be starting his PhD in mathematics with MIT this offseason.
