Patriots defensive backs Devin and Jason McCourty to serve as Rutgers’ 2019 commencement speakers, receive honorary degrees

Later this week, New England Patriots defensive backs Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty will return to their alma mater to be honored by the school: the twin brothers will receive honorary degrees on Sunday, May 19 when they also address graduates at Rutgers University as this year’s commencement speakers.

“Rutgers has always been a special place to us,” Jason McCourty told the university website. “The education we received on and off the field helped lay the foundation for so much of what we’ve accomplished. Returning to Rutgers now is certainly humbling and we’re grateful for the opportunity.
