VALDOSTA — 杰西Tuggle, former professional football linebacker who played for the Atlanta Falcons, will deliver the keynote address during 美高梅博彩’s Fall 2018 commencement ceremony at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, on the Front Lawn.
“Graduation is a defining moment in every student’s life,” said Dr. Richard A. Carvajal, president of vs上. “We are excited to pay tribute to the outstanding efforts of our fall graduates and celebrate education as the foundation upon which success is built. These students have had to overcome any number of challenges to reach this point in their life’s journey. It is that very perseverance that protects and nurtures Blazer Nation’s tradition of academic, creative, athletic, research, and service excellence.”
1992年毕业于美高梅博彩，获得工商管理学士学位。 他曾公开称赞该机构给了他开启职业生涯的机会。
A native of Griffin, Georgia, Tuggle played football for Griffin High School, and his success on the field, despite his small size, led to him receiving two Division II scholarship offers — one of them being Valdosta State College and its barely one-year-old football team.
1983年，塔格凭借体育奖学金进入美高梅博彩，并于1986年带领橄榄球队赢得了第一个赛季的冠军。 同年，他获得了全美的荣誉。 一年后，他与亚特兰大猎鹰队签约，在四年的大学生涯中，他获得了三次全南海湾联盟的荣誉，包括1986年的南海湾年度最佳防守球员，以及340次抢断的学校纪录。
在亚特兰大猎鹰队的14个赛季中，塔格尔录得1809次抢断，其中包括164次助攻； 21袋; 6次拦截，他将球击出106码并触地得分； 10次被迫失误； 37次传球偏转。 他接回了10个球，将球接回了155码，并创造了5次达阵的NFL纪录。 他五次参加职业碗比赛，并参加了第33届超级碗比赛。 他曾三次入选最佳阵容。 Due to the impact and frequency of his tackles, he quickly became known as “The Hammer.”
塔格尔于1997年入选美高梅博彩名人堂。 Ten years later he was inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame. 他的瓦尔多斯塔州88号和亚特兰大猎鹰58号都已经退役。 为了表彰他的成就和他对大学的持续支持，美高梅博彩在2009年开放时将其运动场命名为杰西·塔格尔力量和健身综合体。 ESPN最近将他评为亚特兰大猎鹰队历史上最好的未被选中的NFL球员。
塔格尔与杜胡安·塔格尔结婚，育有三个成年子女。 他的大儿子贾斯汀（Justin）在加拿大足球联盟（Canadian Football League）的多伦多阿尔戈英雄队（Toronto Argonauts）担任防守端球员，另一个儿子格雷迪（Grady）在亚特兰大猎鹰队（Atlanta Falcons）担任防守截锋。 他的女儿杰西卡（Jessica）于2014年毕业于美高梅博彩（vs上），在那里她与Lady Blazer网球队一起打球，并在大四时被评为返校节女王。
