From the confetti-filled Georgia Dome following their Peach Bowl victory to the commencement platform inside TDECU Stadium, the class of 2016 has had proven success both on the field and in the classroom.
Over the weekend, 16 Cougars football players will receive their degrees from the university.
“The Peach Bowl stage was a product of a year worth of training, hard work and commitment,” Head Football Coach Tom Herman said. “They’ll remember it forever and they’ll forever be remembered as champions, but what they’re about to do is going to change their lives forever in a positive way by getting a degree.
