Pigskin to sheepskin  April 3rd, 2013  Ashley Lelie indeed
should be regarded as a role model — and not just because he was
the highest-drafted player in Warrior football history.  Lelie
is inspiring because of his post-NFL life. Lelie, who entered
the NFL draft after his junior year, returned to UH to complete
work on a bachelor's degree. For Lelie, it wasn't just a paper
chase. He enjoys studying and learning. During Greg McMackin's
tenure, one of Lelie's duties as a student manager was to
monitor the sign-in list for training-table breakfasts. Lelie
used that time to read.  Lelie, who earned a BA a couple of
years ago, will pursue a master's degree at the University of
Nevada, where he will work as a graduate assistant for the Wolf
Pack. His wife will remain at UH for another year while
completing work on a PhD.  Lelie is an example that, unlike
football eligibility, there is no expiration date in the pursuit
of  a greater education.  * * * * *   Defensive end Beau Yap
