HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington will give the commencement address at his alma mater, Marshall University, on May 9.
Marshall President Stephen J. Kopp said Friday that Pennington serves as a model for the community.
Pennington and his wife, Robin, established the 1st and 10 Foundation, aimed at improving the quality of life for residents of West Virginia, the New York City area and his native Tennessee.
Released by the New York Jets last August, Pennington led the Dolphins to a playoff berth and was named The Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year for the second time in three seasons.
Pennington was a two-time academic All-American at Marshall and led the Thundering Herd to a 13-0 record in 1999.
