Jimmy Herman
Junior, Industrial Engineering
Herman, a junior linebacker from Carmel, was one of five
football players to earn the Big Ten's Distinguished Scholar Award
which encompasses only students with a minimum GPA of 3.7 or
higher for the previous academic year, excluding summer school. To
qualify Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must be letterwinners
in at least their second academic year at their institution.
Purdue had 62 student-athletes earn the award, including nine
that had a 4.0 - Jamie Bissett, Mary Gooding, Grace Hernandez, Anji

it brought blitzes, it consistently af-

up sacks.
More than the flashy plays, though,

It's about players knowing their
jobs and doing them, without com-
plaint, without hesitation, without
exception. And as camp progressed,
strides were made.
