Former CFL veteran Dante Marsh close to making good on his promise
Dante Marsh is close to making good on his promise.
When Marsh began his pro football career in 2001 with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, it was before completing his sociology degree at Fresno State. He vowed to his mother and father he’d return to school and complete his studies once finished playing.
Marsh, who turns 38 this month, last played with the CFL’s B.C. Lions in 2014, capping a successful 11-year run with the team. After completing three classes last fall, the Oakland, Calif., native is finishing the final two classes he needs to complete his academic requirements.
Unfortunately, Marsh’s parents won’t see him receive his degree as both are deceased. However, Marsh hopes his perseverance and determination can serve as inspiration for his two children (son Christopher, 15 and daughter Brooklyn, eight).
