For one day at least, Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles traded in his whistle for a cap and gown as he graduated from Mount St. Mary's University on Saturday and chose to walk with the class of 2023, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Bowles, 59, earned his Bachelor of Science degree in youth and community development nearly four decades after he decided to leave college early and pursue a professional football career.
He completed all his coursework back in September but opted to walk with his class and receive his diploma.
