Kenneth Lockhart Graduates with a 4.0 GPA and is Bound for Georgia Tech
Kenneth Lockhart knows he can get anywhere from here.
Just like the tagline says. After graduating from Savannah State University
(SSU) in December 2023, the electronics engineering major and punter for the
Tigers football team is headed for the Georgia Institute of Technology to
pursue a Master of Science in cybersecurity and to continue his punting career
with the Yellow Jackets.
The Hinesville, Ga. native is graduating from SSU with
a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA. He starts at Georgia Tech in spring 2024.
“I’ve always had a passion to learn and apply
knowledge,” he said. “I want to improve as a scholar and as a football player.
It’s an attitude of always wanting to improve.”
He draws motivation from his parents who always worked
hard and provide for him. “Their dedication to raising me was pretty
motivational,” he added.
Curiosity is what drew him to electronics. “I was
always interested in knowing how things work,” he said. He did his share of disassembling
electronic devices and building Lego sets.
Of his time on campus, he remembers Dr. Rakibul Akanda
one of his professors. “He was very thorough with his lectures and always
willing to help all students.”
When thinking about his success at SSU and about being
accepted into the most competitive engineering schools in the Georgia, he
pauses.
“If you look at if from an outside perspective it may
seem astonishing, but for me I don’t need to make things bigger than they
should. I keep it real because what I am really doing is working to be
disciplined and successful.”
