Three years ago, some thought Jayru Campbell would never make it to college, let alone graduate from one.
The former Detroit Cass Tech quarterback proved a lot of people wrong when he received a two-year degree from Garden City Community College in Kansas and walked in the school's commencement last week.
As a prominent member of Garden City's football program, Campbell's coaches say he worked tirelessly to put his checkered past behind him, including a pair of 2014 arrests that cost him his senior year of high school and a Michigan State football scholarship.
In Kansas, he helped the Broncbusters win a national championship in 2016.
