Former football standout to lecture today at UGA

Former Georgia Bulldog football star Mohamed Massaquoi is back on campus today: Massaquoi, a receiver for the Bulldogs and a captain on the 2008 football team, speaks at 5 o'clock this afternoon at the University's Richard Russell Library. His remarks are part of UGA's Diversity and Inclusion Lecture Series. 

From the University of Georgia master calendar…

A Charlotte, North Carolina native, Mohamed Massaquoi was the second round pick for the Cleveland Browns in the 2009 NFL draft where he recorded two 100-yard receiving games his rookie year. Before joining the NFL, he earned his Bachelor of Science in psychology from the University of Georgia where he was named the 2008 team captain, selected as a first-team All-Southeastern Conference and Academic All-SEC member, and received the team’s Leon Farmer Award.

In Spring 2017, Massaquoi was involved in an ATV accident resulting in the amputation of four fingers. Since retiring from the NFL, he has worked as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley and is currently a speaker and advocate for fitness, athletes in business and amputee causes.
