Despite signing a record-breaking contract this offseason, Liberty linebacker AC Hackett still works during the off-season to stay true to his roots and sharpen up his post-playing career prospects.
Graduating from the University of Maryland with a dual-degree in Public Policy and Psychology, Hackett spent the next 2 NSFL offseasons pursuing an accelerated Master's degree in Psychology with a focus on policymaking. This offseason, like we all hope to do, he translated that education into a stable job, working as a summer school civics teacher right outside of Baltimore. The first few days of the class were a whirlwind, as the students didn't quite know how to respond to having a star linebacker teaching them government. But once they settled down, they quickly found that he was as good in the classroom as he is in coverage.
When he wasn't in the classroom, settled into a more traditional role for someone in his position, setting up and running a camp for high school athletes, both basketball and football. While the latter pays his bills, the former is his true passion, and Hackett seeks to inspire on-court selflessness in the next generation of professional athletes. Even though the camp operates at a reduced price, it certainly isn't free, as Hackett wants to teach the first rule of being a pro athlete: the game is a cruel business so you should always secure the bag.
