Welcome back, students. For those at Colorado State University, school is back in session. Here’s a look at the Colorado State Football team on Monday, being talked to by Sara Ray, director of student-athlete support services. Members of the support staff spoke to the team that evening, according to the team officials.

One Next Level Ram is back at it, as well. Crockett Gillmore, who left Colorado State in 2013 to take part in the NFL Draft, has been playing for the Baltimore Ravens the last two seasons. After he was selected in the third round of the Draft by the Ravens, Gillmore experienced a somewhat slow rookie season with 10 receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown.
In 2015, though, Gillmore’s ability as a bruiser who can catch the football with skill emerged. The Ravens realized he’s the real deal; in Week 2 against the Oakland Raiders Gillmore caught five passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns. On one of those scores, he trucked through three defenders sensationally. His season was going swimmingly until a late-season back injury landed him on the injured reserve.
Well, Gillmore isn’t all about football, apparently. He’s using the time away from the football field to get his mind stronger. On Tuesday, he tweeted about the first day of school and wanting to graduate. He confirmed on Twitter he’s studying on Colorado State’s online, global campus.

Who doesn’t love Billy Madison?
According to CSURams.com, Gillmore was studying Communications at Colorado State. It’s a great degree to earn, take it from a graduate of the program.
Gillmore is doing big things at the NFL level, he doesn’t have to work this semester to finish his degree. But, he wants to. Much like the CSU football team, Gillmore’s “Never Satisfied” and that’s pretty, darn cool.
