Noah Furbush, 24, a Marine Corps Officer Candidate, conducts pull-ups physical training at Marine Corps Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia, November 5, 2019. The exercise challenges candidates’ ability to navigate on land, give orders and execute the mission effectively.

Furbush was a four-year Academic All-Big Ten honoree and the recipient of the 2018 Dr. Arthur D. Robinson Scholarship Award, given to the top UM football student athlete. He graduated in 2018 with a degree in aerospace engineering and then graduated with a master’s degree in space engineering in 2019. Furbush is scheduled to graduate from the 10-week officer candidate course November 16 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia where he will subsequently commission as an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
