Katie Feeney might have made history as the first ever social media correspondent to be officially appointed by the NFL. But although she’s always been a sports fan, she never envisaged establishing a career in the field. In fact, she initially had money on her mind.
Yes, Feeney first attended Penn State University to study business. But after gracing the college football field for the first time, she got hooked and subsequently switched her major to broadcast journalism. The star told Her Campus, “It was so unreal: the atmosphere, the students … I knew from that point forward, I needed to pursue something in sports, because there really is nothing like it.”
And from the sounds of it, Feeney can’t wait to make full use of her degree. Referring to her impending 21st birthday in 2023, the TikToker said, “I’m excited about it! It means I’m one step closer to graduating and entering the real world. After that, the possibilities are endless.”
