A coveted athlete fueled by the failure of his troubled past decision making turns his life around by climbing out of the adversity with determination and persistence. Casey Therriault was one of the most praised Quarterbacks coming out of High school in the state of Michigan. After failing to make the necessary requirements and meeting the standards to continue to a four year school he had to take a alternate route of community college football. Once he finished six months of Junior college football he gets in a fight and charged with Murder 2 and Manslaughter. Casey served six months for his decisions and chose to make every decision from there on geared towards excellence and success. He graduated with his two year degree to become eligible to play sports at a four year university. He led an Undefeated Grand Rapids Community College to a National Championship and a top ranking in the nation. After being rejected by multiple schools he pushed further and convinced an open armed Jackson State to offer him a full scholarship to then become the most recognized passer in school history. He graduated with his BS while at Jackson State and recorded the highest amount of community service hours out of all student athletes for two consecutive years. Casey speaks to numerous groups of people today that are in need of hope, motivation, guidance, and prosperity. Perseverance and will power are the keys to success as life will put you in many situations you will never see coming. Casey is aiming to reach people and inspire them to never give up on the things they want to accomplish.
