As a second-year graduate student, Jaycee serves as a shining example of a superb (retired) college athlete to those aspiring to make it to the next level. She worked tirelessly on the field and in the classroom, was a devoted teammate and leader, and her work ethic has earned her a starting position for the Seahawks since her freshman year. And like most college athletes, she is going pro in something other than her sport.
