MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It's not often football players get to graduate and play a game in the same day, but that will be the case Saturday for a handful of Blue Raiders.
Middle Tennessee will hold two special in-person graduation ceremonies Saturday at Floyd Stadium for May, August and December 2020 graduates. Seven football players plus former quarterback and current student assistant Jordan Middleton will be among those receiving degrees.
While the football players won't be able to get their degrees in person, since they'll be playing for the Palladium Trophy in a game at Troy, it will be a special day nonetheless.
