Background Information

Tajay Higgins - 2014 - #11 Men's Soccer - St. Thomas University Athletics

Mr. Higgins was born in Jamaica where he became in love with the sport of soccer.

Mr. Higgins attended the University of Mobile in Alabama for college, where he played varsity soccer on a full scholarship for two and a half years. Then, Mr. Higgins transferred to St. Thomas University where he finished his college soccer career. 

From there, soccer opened up the door for Mr. Higgins to pursue a Masters degree in sports administration and a PhD in business administration.

Mr. Higgins has some wise words for high schoolers and other children: “When you work hard for something like I did in playing soccer,  you really cherish what you have gained.”
