He earned his bachelor's degree in three years at Penn State and spent his senior year working on a master's degree in mathematics, while being paid by Penn State to teach Integral Vector Calculus Trigonometry.
He won the "Academic Heisman" in 2013, an honor given to college football's top scholar-athlete.
Earlier this year, the 24-year-old, 305-pound lineman was accepted into the No. 1 ranked graduate school for mathematics, all while having a full-time job in the NFL.
