FLORIDA STATE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN NAMED GO BOWLING

MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE

Florida State University defensive lineman Grady Kelly, a redshirt junior majoring in exercise physiology, has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete.

Kelly, who is from Navarre, Fla., has a 3.7 grade-point average. He also is taking a minor in commercial entrepreneurship. He aspires to become a physician’s assistant.

“Grady takes great initiative in his academics,” Florida State assistant director of football academics Kenneth Towns said. “He always makes a connection with his professors and has an invested interest in the learning process. The exercise physiology program of study is very heavy in the content areas of math and science. These courses have a set sequence and level of difficulty that is hard to manage for the regular student body population, let alone the demands of a full-time student-athlete. Grady consistently exceeds expectations in all of his academic pursuits.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to announce the members of the fourth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.

“The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors an amazing group of young men who truly showcase what it means to be a student-athlete,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “We are thrilled to honor this group of talented players for their success on and off the field while continually challenging themselves in the classroom.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Athletic Conference – the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.

The two players whose teams compete in the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 5:45 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Bowl tickets are on sale now. A donation will be made in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
