In this episode of Cougars Uncaged, Lonnie Preis and Kylie Walker sit down with Jacob Haley and Brody Hurt—two highly involved Cleary University students who bring energy, heart, and personality to campus life.
Brody, a freshman student-athlete, shares his journey to Cleary after a season-ending injury, his passion for soccer and coaching, and how Cleary’s coaches helped reshape his future. Jacob, a graduate student studying Data Efficiency, talks about balancing academics with involvement in esports, track & field, DECA, art club, and student leadership—and why Cleary felt like the right fit close to home.
From dream careers and favorite spots on campus (yes, the massage chair makes an appearance), to hot takes on the greatest movies of all time (Cars vs. Free Birds), rapid-fire questions, and an epic video-game showdown, this episode is packed with laughs, insight, and genuine Cleary pride.
