A Shrine to Mom
A shrine to his mom by PURDUE ATHLETICS on Exposure
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - It's not uncommon to see Nojel Eastern's mother, Tamala Reed, working him out in the offseason. It's the drive that she has instilled in Nojel that makes him want to be the best person and player he can be.
"My tattoo on my right forearm is a tattoo of my mom's name. She's the most-important lady in my life and I thought my first tattoo should be to recognize her as a shrine to show how important she is to me. She made me the guy I am today."
"It was an easy spot and I wanted it to be seen. I didn't want to hide it and for people to understand who she is and what she means to me."
