Takeo gets his degree

Good for Takeo. After all these years. Always like to see athletes from any school come back to finish their degree. Especially guys that don't need to financially. He was AU's greatest LB. WDE, Takeo!

Would've made a great reserve at Alabama.

Great for him. He was a beast in college and now he can succeed after football.

Congrats to Takeo Spikes, always impressive when an athlete returns and finishes educational requirements and obtains a degree. We forget, but it is the primary purpose of attending a university

Good for him. I am old enough to have seen a lot of great LBs play in Tiger stadium including Derrick Thomas and Wilbur Marshall. Takeo was better than anyone I ever saw in Tiger Stadium. He was instinctive and so strong that he couldn't be blocked against LSU in 1997. It seemed like he made every tackle that night. Glad to hear that he completed his education.

He should have no trouble pulling in 45-50k a year. Set for life.

Bengals fan here. Good for him. Always good to see guys go back and complete their degrees. This is the kind of stuff the media should be pushing instead of all the negative shite in the world.

I can't remember when exactly, but at some point toward the end of last century I remember I hated playing AU because they had a monster linebacker crew. I guess it was probably when he was playing. I still think of Auburn as LBU because of that.

Good for him, he is setting a good example for his kids and others by not quiting what you start.

Those amounts seem really low for college grad after 15 years. Also, I am suspicious about Alabama being rated last out of the SEC schools.

Good for Takeo, though. Great player and a fantastic accomplishment to go back and get his degree.
