Chase Deadder, WR: “After graduation my plans are to train and see where and how far football can take me – to kind of see what comes my way. I am hoping for the best. I can only train and be ready if the opportunity does come. I am planning on becoming a CHP officer or a fireman and follow my father or my grandfather in their footsteps.”

PhotobucketJeff Fleming, QB: “I want to get my degree, find a job here next semester, and just do something different for once. I’ve gone 17 straight years with football and it is a new feeling now that it is over. But I want to get out there and try to find a job. I am studying geography right now, so I am not quite sure what I am going to do with it yet. Getting a degree is all that matters.”

 

 

 

PhotobucketMarquese Smith, DB: “I don’t know right now. I really don’t have a set plan. The main focus is to graduate on time in the spring. I am studying public relations. I am still in the search of things. There are a few things here and there that I am interested in, but I am still trying to figure it out. After graduation, I hope to be doing something that I like to do and something that I am happy with.”
