Pretty impressive, especially when keeping up the schedule as a football player at Florida State.

There's just something about this that makes me really happy.

Wow. What an overachiever. I am very proud of him.

I can only imagine how much I could have accomplished had I known what I wanted to do for sure back when I was an undergrad.

I remember when Myron was being recruited a lot of people wondered why he went to FSU when he said that academics were his top concern (he wants to be a neurosurgeon) and the other schools recruiting him were a good bit better academic schools than Florida State. He hasn't been the star of the secondary that everyone thought he would, but he is a good football player and one who has his head on straight (which is a rarity these days). Also makes FSU look a lot better in light of the football player academic scandal last season.

Good for him.
