If you were given a chance to attend an Ivy League School, how would you feel? Do you think you could handle it? Would you even consider it? As we all know, when it comes to academics; attending an Ivy League School is as BIG as it gets!!! Everything about attending an Ivy League School is extremely rare and difficult. Let alone, the simple fact of being able to apply and be considered for acceptance into whichever school it is.
Well, out in New Haven, Connecticut at Yale University, there is a young, black, football player by the name of Mordecai Cargill who is basically proving every person that said he couldn’t succeed wrong. Just the simple fact of saying he is an Ivy league student is enough satisfaction for one to have, but Mordecai hasn’t even let that get to him one bit. He has remained humble and focused with his mind on one thing in life; HAPPINESS!

Although Mordecai is a Division I athlete, there is 1 major thing that separates him from all other D1 athletes… Being at an Ivy League school, they are unable to receive athletic scholarships! Meaning, Mordecai isn’t on a full ride as most of the Division I players across the country may be. This isn’t a bad thing by any means! This truly shows the love and passion of Football that Mordecai has within himself. To turn down full ride scholarships from other universities because he truly cares about his academics that much; really brings out Mordecai’s inner being! With these 3 major goals on his mind for this upcoming season/school year, you’ll understand what I’m talking about:
1. Follow through and stay committed to all the things that I start.
2. Have more discipline in practice, weight room, class, and my studying.
3. Be more spiritually grounded… Pray, meditate, and chill.

However, don’t think this is “all” about academics, because it’s not! Mordecai Cargill is the starting running back for Yale and is on his grind on the football field! He told me that he sees himself playing in the NFL in 5 years, and he’s planning on doing whatever it takes to get there! So you can take my word, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR HIM!!!

The Ivy League consists of these 8 institutions: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. I almost guarantee, not many of you could name any Ivy League student-athlete before you read this article… It’s ok, I could only name a few… Their rare and very special… Now, you can watch and say that you know about Yale University Running Back, #28 Mordecai Cargill.
