While we've all enjoyed watching LSU quarterback Joe Burrow perform his mastery on the field, he's also been a college student, working toward a degree from Louisiana State University like the other 25,000 people enrolled there.
Well, that quest has been completed. Six days after receiving the Heisman Trophy, Burrow has walked across the stage to receive a master's degree from his university as well.
Burrow joined nearly 2,000 of his fellow students Friday in LSU's 300th commencement ceremony, where he was handed a master's degree in liberal arts from in front of a cheering crowd.
Burrow transferred to LSU as a graduate student after he graduated from Ohio State University in three years with a degree in consumer and family financial services in 2018.
Now, he's a graduate of LSU, too.
The university graduated 1,986 students from 55 Louisiana parishes, 42 states and 39 other countries this semester. LSU officials said Burrow was one of 28 student-athletes in the ceremony.
"A number of student-athletes from the No. 1 ranked LSU football team earned degrees during fall commencement including Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow, Kristian Fulton, Lloyd Cushenberry, Zachary Von Rosenberg and Blake Ferguson," university officials said in a statement.
The day before he graduated, the Athens City School Board unanimously voted to change the name of Burrow's alma mater stadium at Athens High School in Ohio to "Joe Burrow Stadium."
The vote came as the board recognized their alumnus not only for his historic season at LSU so far -- breaking multiple conference records and leading the Tigers to a shot at the national title -- but for using his platform to help families in Southeast Ohio as well.
