academic portfolio, John Urschel must first
do a bit of subtraction.
The Baltimore Ravens
Guard/Center recently announced his retirement from professional football.
Having already achieved a Penn State bachelor’s and master’s in mathematics, Urschel is now on his way to an MIT doctorate.
His polymath tendencies come as no surprise, since his father is a surgeon and his mother an attorney.
Mind you, this isn't all that Urschel has done. He is an accomplished writer, who has already “published six peer-reviewed mathematics papers to date and has three more ready for review.” He has also
won the William V. Campbell Trophy, widely known as the “Academic Heisman.”
