When John Urschel was thirteen, he was auditing college-level calculus courses. But in high school he found another love: football. His size and skill won him a scholarship at Penn State, where he continued to study Math. Urschel found he couldn't give up either of his pursuits, so even as he was drafted to the Baltimore Ravens, he signed up to complete a Ph.D. in Mathematics at MIT. In this talk with WGBH News reporter Esteban Bustillos, Urschel talks about his awesome trajectory, and disects some of the hurdles he had to overcome, from concussions to his college team being sanctioned for the acts of former coach Jerry Sandusky.
