Chris was a Draddy Finalist, with a degree in Sociology, and gave the keynote speech at graduation. Plus, I've heard the guy interviewed lots and lots, and he is no dummy. -Zeb "This is a great honor, but I would not have been able to achieve this without the guidance from our coaching staff and the Office of Student Life," said Leak. "Coach Meyer has put a tremendous emphasis on academic success and graduating and that message has had a positive effect on our entire team. It is clear that Dr. (Keith) Carodine, Jason Storch and the entire staff truly cares about how each student-athlete at Florida lives on and off the field each day. My family has also played a significant role in showing me the importance of getting my education and I can not thank them enough for everything they have done to support me. I'd also like to congratulate the other members of the National Scholar-Athlete Class on their efforts."
