Here's an article about one of our former football players who may not have fully felt comfortable at Duke--but who is certainly an interesting guy.

Essence of the article ("Fair Use" only):


He plans on attending law school. He kicked off his college life by graduating from Duke, an academic powerhouse, in three years, while enduring the time restraints that accompany being part of a Power Five football program.

“What makes him truly distinctive is his pursuit of advanced language learning and graduating in three years, which meant consistently overloading,” Lee Baker, professor of cultural anthropology and director of Duke’s International Comparative Studies Program, wrote The Register in an email.

“Routinely, athletes come to Duke and transfer to another school to get more playing time, or because they don’t get along with the coaches. Others will extend their eligibility by doing a redshirt year, (and) in each case they give up a year of competing.

“Everett is super-strategic, because he was able to use his eligibility — and get his BA and MA paid for in the process. He is a smart kid in more ways than one.”

All that stuff about his father is extremely cryptic, does that mean he's a Company man? He drops his 13 year old son in a foreign country with a credit card and says, "Figure it out". Interesting, indeed.

Yes, it sounds like his Dad is CIA and wanted Evrett to live on his own for a while (with people looking after him). Wow!
