Jaron Summers paused his college lacrosse career to join the West Virginia Army National Guard when COVID-19 hit, then returned home to finish his degree at WVU. Through WVU's accelerated bachelor's-to-master's program, he earned a bachelor's in Physical Education and Kinesiology and a master's in Physical Education Teacher Education. A paid student teaching position at Preston High School, where a teacher shortage put him in the classroom as the primary PE and health instructor, gave him hands-on experience before he graduated in 2022. Summers now teaches physical education and coaches lacrosse at St. Paul Christian Academy in Nashville.
