Nakobe Dean has maintained a 3.55 GPA still pursuing a mechanical engineering degree at UGA, despite becoming the Eagles starting LB

Nakobe Dean is reportedly still pursuing a mechanical engineering degree at UGA, despite becoming the Eagles starting LB.

After Eagles team meetings, Dean would reportedly get on his laptop and work on classes.

Dean even called UGA’s AADA an HOUR after the Eagles won the NFC Championship to see what calculator he needed for a class.

Dean reportedly went back to UGA this spring to take some classes, and has maintained a 3.55 GPA.

After football, Dean wants to own a business that builds and designs prosthetics.

Nakobe Dean remembers his mother telling him his “mind would take him further than his feet” in life, such was the emphasis placed on education in a family absent of sporting reference points. Dean took that, and decided to build a career on both.

He would become a brains and brawn asset on the football field, a reconnaissance drone, a code-breaker and land soldier with the IQ and explosiveness as the most accomplished off-ball linebacker at the 2022 NFL Draft.

Before football he figured he would become a doctor. Upon arriving at Georgia to focus on football he majored in mechanical engineering. Dean has been quizzed on both a lot. A lot a lot. So it is over to him…

“My father is a doctor, just growing up I kind of had the inside scoop of everything as far as being a doctor, he always took us to his work and I was able to see everything so I kind of fell in love with that,” Dean told Sky Sports.
