Honors and awards Jay has received: Iowa State Football championship team in 2001, set many records in high school football, first team all-independent conference at UIU.

Jay on the transfer process: All my credits transferred easily. UIU is a better “fit” for me both academically and athletically because I am not just a number here. The thing I appreciate the most about UIU classes is the two-at-a-time course scheduling. This has enabled me to absorb and retain materials much more easily than the semester system I came from.
