senior moments
In May, Tennessee Tech will bid farewell to several senior student-athletes as they complete their collegiate careers and receive their degrees. Some will return in the fall for another semester or two before graduation. Either way, the approaching summer will give them a brief break from the campus. So what do they plan to do over the next few months with all that new free time? Blake Adams - Football Right after graduation (in December) I went back to Los Angeles to start training for the NFL and pro day at Velocity Sports Performance in Manhattan Beach. My plan for the next month or so is to continue training and attend CFL tryouts. Lamar Moore - Football I've been working in management. Now that I'm getting two degrees I will be searching for more managerial jobs. Jeremiah Samarrippas - Basketball After graduation, I'll be looking to play overseas professionally. The first three months I'll be working out with my trainer and the agency I sign with, trying to get better.
Elise Robertson (left) and Ashleigh Hancock (right) - Volleyball Ashleigh Hancock and I are flying into Marseille, France to spend a week with her family, and then going to London to start a three-week tour of Europe. We will be going to the French Riveria, Vienna, Munich, Amersterdam, Paris, and back to London before we go back to the U.S.
Jordan Johnson - Football During the next three months I will be finishing up school then going back to Miami.
Leigh Heffner - Soccer I’m going home to Denver, which I have missed so much, and I’m going to be taking my PCAT for pharmacy school in July. Also I plan on working as a pharmacy tech for a whole year as I apply for pharmacy school. Kayla Brewer - Basketball Currently I’m planning to finish my masters. I have a graduate project this summer where I plan to collaborate with the academic staff for athletics to write a formal policy manual for TTU athletics, and I’ll also continue to workout and train in aspirations of a professional career overseas.
