Starting wide receiver Chase Wasson of the Texas State University - San Marcos Bobcats is looking at moving on elsewhere so he can go about getting a graduate degree. He may or may not finish his football career elsewhere. That is to be seen, but you've got to give credit to someone who said he "left athletics out of it" as he looked at institutions for a graduate program.
Academics come first and this is a great example of a student-athlete being just that. He may end up playing at TXST, but if he wants to get a graduate degree and they don't have it at TXST, I wish him the best of luck in going for it...

Wide receiver considering finishing football career elsewhere

Chase Wasson said to a group of students Wednesday he is planning to pursue graduate school, and his collegiate football career, at another institution.
Wasson, Texas State’s leading wide receiver from the 2006 football season, said he has been accepted for graduate school next year but would not name the institution.
The communications studies senior, who graduates in May, has one year of eligibility remaining to play collegiate sports, but may not get the chance to. He is looking at getting a waiver from the NCAA to play at the institution where he would begin a graduate program in intercollegiate sports administration.
Wasson said he could not pinpoint when he began thinking about playing somewhere else, but the issue arose when he researched graduate programs. Texas State does not offer a graduate program in his desired field of study.
