If you watched this year’s Big Ten Championship, you probably saw Jarrius Adams compete for and win the Dr Pepper Challenge at halftime. Adams is a sophomore at Ole Miss, and he won $100,000 toward his education expenses after besting his competition in Indianapolis.
I interviewed Jarrius via email earlier this week, and we took on a host of topics, including football throwing technique, his philanthropy in the state of Mississippi, the Beacon and hot dog condiments. Jarrius is majoring in Public Policy and Political Science at Ole Miss, with designs on either graduate school or law school after matriculation.
