Fall 2025 will be Gadsden City alumni Daniel Sparks’ fourth and final season as the University of Virginia’s starting punter. His college career included stops at the University of Louisiana-Monroe and the University of Minnesota before arriving at UVA. Daniel has already completed a bachelor’s degree in biology and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in athletic administration. With aspirations for a career as a professional football player or in the athletics or healthcare fields, his future is wide open. He’s grateful for the life lessons and experiences that have made him the student-athlete he is today. Daniel offers this advice to future GCHS graduates: “Chase your dreams no matter how hard they may seem to accomplish. If it were easy everyone would do it.”
If you know a successful Gadsden City alumnus who is thriving somewhere around the world, we would love to include them in the Our Titan Family is Going Places campaign.
They can upload a short video (less than two minutes) and a photo here. The video should be an introduction of themselves, a synopsis of what they do in their career, and the coolest work-related experience they’ve had so far.
Make sure the video is between :30 and 2 minutes. The photo should be of just them with a background that reflects what they are doing in their career. They should be sure to use their name (first and last) as the file name for the photo and the video.
Along with the photo and video, they’ll need to complete the short survey here.
