ATLANTA -- Georgia State student-athletes spend countless hours in a variety of service endeavors, giving back to their community.
Ed Curney is taking that ideal a step further.
The Georgia State linebacker and team captain completed his undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies last spring and has begun work on a master’s degree in education.
“I hope to one day be an athletic director in the APS (Atlanta Public Schools),” Curney explained. “I want to give back to the community.
“I’m from Atlanta, and I grew up with the same struggles as those kids have. I’ve seen a lot of my home boys throw their lives away over dumb decisions, the streets getting to them.
