Before he was a five-time Pro Bowl NFL player, Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins spent three years playing for the Clemson Tigers.
Now Hopkins is heading back to Clemson, and, this time, he plans to leave with a degree.
Hopkins told reporters Friday he is attending online and virtual classes to receive a degree in parks, recreation and tourism management in honor of his mother and late father, per ESPN's Turron Davenport and TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
"It's important because I come from a family where not a lot of people graduated," Hopkins said.
