Raiders LB Bruce Irvin earns degree from WVU

Bruce Irvin is one of the most beloved Raiders players by fans and is one of the favorites amongst fans of West Virginia University, his alma mater. Irvin left school as a junior and was a first-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 following a tumultuous childhood which had seen Irvin do some jail time.

But now, Irvin will be walking in West Virginia’s commencement ceremony with his shiny new undergraduate degree in sociology. He will be the first person in his family to have earned a college degree.
