Yes, Rob Fried is the Bo Jackson, the Brian Jordan, the Deion Sanders of Harvard sports. He is a two-sport star.
While playing two varsity sports might seem an impossible feat to achieve at an academic institution such as Harvard, Fried uses athletics to focus his priorities and make the most of his time at college.
Having attended Deerfield Academy, a prep school in Western Mass, Fried is no stranger to the balancing act facing a multi-sport athlete and talented scholar.
At Deerfield, as in college, Fried shined brightest on the ice. As a senior, Fried captained a team that featured fellow Crimson teammate, junior Tyler Kolarik. Fried was named to the first team All-League and received the honor of Sports Illustrated/Old Spice Athlete of the Month in Nov. 1999...
Perhaps most impressive, however, is the fact that Fried was selected in the third round of the 2000 NHL Draft (77th overall) by the Florida Panthers.
