TAMPA, Fla. -- Joe Tryon hasn’t had to look far for inspiration in his 22 years on this earth.
As the first-round pick's NFL career takes off this fall as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his sister Julia, who is 16 months older, is set to begin her first semester of medical school at the University of Washington. Joe will foot the tuition bill with his first NFL paycheck.
Full-time tuition at the University of Washington School of Medicine -- which was one of 10 schools she got into -- costs $37,887 annually for in-state residents.
