Fordham Football Camp Report #3

Bronx, N.Y. – Alex Gordon and Clark Gordon titled their 1997 book College: The Best Five Years of Your Life as a tongue-in-cheek guide for high-schoolers contemplating college but they very well may be speaking of a pair of Fordham football Rams who begin their fifth year at Rose Hill this fall.
 
But for All-Patriot League quarterback Kevin Anderson and preseason All-League defensive lineman Manny Adeyeye the fifth year isn't so they can finish their undergraduate degree, a feat which both accomplished last year. It's so they can work on a master's degree while participating in their final year of eligibility with the football squad.
 
Anderson, a Second Team All-Patriot League pick last year, received a degree in Business Administration last May from Fordham and begins work on a graduate degree in Media Management at the Gabelli School of Business while Adeyeye received a degree in Communications in 2017 and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Public Media at Fordham College

Notes
 
- Anderson and Adeyeye follow in the footsteps of Phazahn Odom, who spent a fifth year at Rose Hill last year to earn a master's degree. Odom is currently in camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
 
- Today's practice was the first in shoulder pads for the Rams, who were in helmets only for the first two sessions.
 
- It was also the first practice session for the Rams on Murphy Field.
 
- The Rams will have their first scrimmage of camp on Wednesday night, August 9, at 6:00 PM on Jack Coffey Field
 
- Following practice the Rams were introduced to Ben Oliva and Hannah Thurley from Sports Strata, a Sport Psychology program that provides mental coaching to improve confidence, motivation and mental edge. They will work with the Ram this fall.
