Furman University

Hopefully I am a little taller than five foot ten inches and have more facial hair than now. I’ve heard people say that college has the ability to change individuals, some for the good, others for the bad. Furman University offers a variety of subjects and extracurricular activities that show true identity. I am planning on devoting much of my time to football, but, the academic experience is the most important thing to me.

Georgia court case that took place in 1972, the Gregg v. Georgia case circulated during 1976 and completely discredited the Furman v. Georgia court proceedings.
