Taquoris “TQ” Newsome is known around campus for his play on the gridiron as a linebacker for the Golden Eagles, but what the average fan watching the game may not know about him is what he’s accomplishing in the classroom and his career aspirations.
TQ is a member of the Honors College as a part of the Keystone Program, after having joined in his academic junior year. He excels in the classroom, and as one of his mentors, Dr. Thomas O’Brien said, he does so with grace and makes keeping up with the rigorous Honors College academics look easy, and all while having a great attitude in class.
