I will second your motion! I am not a Ravens fan, but Mr. Urshel showed up on a Saturday morning at Penn State a couple of weekends ago to talk to a small group of high school kids who are finalists for relatively new engineering/sciences scholarship program (I am blessed that my son was one of those finalists...). He was on a small stage with a group of the current participants in the scholarship program (he looked like a literal giant compared to the other kids!). You could tell he was as passionate about math, sciences and research as he must be about football. He looked like he was “beaming” on the stage talking about a life of pursuing research. Seemed like a great guy who was accommodating to everyone there. I suspect that he is the kind of guy who will definitely go back to get his Ph.D when his football career is over. Heck, I may even root for the Ravens (on occasion) this season!
Lots of these football guys do good things - especially with the kids it seems.
Never heard of one with this depth of knowledge of math though! Cool stuff.
