Of Tevin King ever suiting up for the Dawgs again?
The biggest factor to make an estimate would be is he enrolled in class?
Bingo! I don't think he'll ever touch the football for the Dawgs again.Originally Posted by TechDAG
Tevin has had a tough road. He was underutilized this year. He is a dynamic player and I hope he'll get his academic house in order and finish out his career strong...and earn his degree. He's the most explosive player we've had since Livas.
If I remember correctly, he barely qualified out of HS.
Yes he had to overcome more than the average student athlete to play college ball.
-He lost focus and let his grades go down in high school, but took three summer classes to get them in order.
-He was one of the most fun backs to watch that we've ever had at Tech as true freshman when he suffered the first injury.
-He comes back only to suffer another terrible injury.
-When he finally gets "healthy" for the third time his PT is very limited.
-All this happens with ZERO family support from back home.
This young man has needs much greater than football.
A very nice likeable person that I hope does. There is much more to some of these kids stories than meets the eyes of many of us.
I wish all the best for Tevin. Maddawg recounted his situation very well.
Good old Memorial Gym
TK is enrolled in 11 hours this spring. Looks like the young man is giving it his best shot. We wish you the best Tevin. You have our support!!
Hoping it works out for him- not just so he can play, but so he can get an education for after football.
That's great news, Danny. I hope the best for Tevin. If he turns his academics around, surely Holtz will find plays to utilize his talent. He is eligible for Medical RS for his Freshman year, which means he has 2 years of eligibility left.
11 hours is a pretty good load for one who is struggling. It seems he is trying to make a difference. Life is more than football as MD said earlier.
It is good to hear he is trying. As has been said before, he was an exciting runner to watch - boy I hope to see him going again. The key to getting ahead in life is an education and the will to succeed - go get em Tevin!
The football family in Ruston IS TK's family.

And we are all behind him over here in Texas as well.
