Project Me: WVU Football player and dance major takes fancy footwork across disciplines to achieve his dreams

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Wide Receiver. Dance major. Big 12 Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll student. All of these descriptions illustrate WVU College of Creative Arts student Ricky Rogers, who has found a home for his hybrid of skill sets in football, performing arts and academics on the campus of West Virginia University. Now, as he receives the training necessary to perform and achieve from his coaches and professors, he’s thinking beyond his college years—and dreaming big in the process.

 
Interesting.

Lynn Swann took ballet lessons and credited it as something that gave him superior leaping skills on the football field. I think that anyone who watched his NFL career will attest that he really was a graceful football player.
