Idaho's student-athletes, Maddie Timm and EJ Neal, have been named the Vandal Academic Services Student-Athletes of the Month supported by P1FCU
Neal is a junior on the men's basketball team. He is a transfer student hailing from San Francisco, California studying organizational science and communications. Boasting a 3.82 GPA, he is known as an extremely hard worker.
"EJ has been a great addition to our student-athletes this academic year," said Thad Hathaway. "He works very hard in the classroom and is involved in the community. He regularly meets with area elementary students to talk about building healthy life habits and the benefits of attending college."
Neal feels that his time at Idaho has equipped him with everything he needs to achieve success both on and off the court. "The transition to Idaho has been a great one. With the multitude of different resources we have here at U of I it has really made the transition a seamless one for me to be successful with my academics," said Neal. "Also, the transition to Moscow has been fun as I have felt a very warm welcome and sense of belonging with my teammates on the basketball team and with other athletes on campus as well."
Looking ahead, Neal hopes to remain involved in sports. "What I plan to do with my communications degree is to go into the sports broadcasting field, as a color commentator, play by play, or insider," explained Neal. "I have some experience with the ESPN+ crew here at U of I and enjoyed my experience with them so far commentating Vandal games."
P1FCU is proud to partner with the Idaho Vandals and support the financial literacy education of our students through various programs. Learn more at p1fcu.com/govandals.
