According to Wes McElroy of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman promised to fund a scholarship for Hershai James of Varina High School. The only catch for the Virginia student is that she would have to become an honor roll student her senior year. A deal is a deal! Hershai needed a 3.0 GPA to make the honor roll. She said Sherman's promise was motivation for her to achieve this goal.
"When my senior year began, I definitely had the scholarship in my head as motivation. With being a senior, the year is really stressful. Having something to look forward to helped. It’s like saying my hard work and dedication had paid off."
Hershai is set to attend Norfolk State in the fall.
