Mark Stoops credits Army Veteran for new demeanor

When you have seen Mark Stoops so far this season either on the field or off, he has carried himself differently this season. He has a change of demeanor, and he credits that to Army Veteran Jason Cummins.

Cummins served a 20 year-career with the Army as an Apache Helicopter Pilot, with tours served in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time he was also teaching classes for the United States Military Academy’s Department of Social Sciences as an Associate Professor of Economics. After his military service came to an end, he wound up working as the Director of Athletics Operations for Horizon Performance, where he grew that to eventually partner with the SEC league office.
