Ja\u2019von \u201cTrick\u201d Nelson was named the 2017 Homecoming King; however, very few people know the time and effort he put in to accomplish the feat.<\/p>\n

Nelson grew up in Tampa, Florida. During high school, he was involved in many extracurricular activities such as sports and student clubs. He was set for college but was not too sure of his destination until he was introduced to Lebanon Valley College.<\/p>\n

\u201cChoosing LVC was an easy decision for me,\u201d Nelson, a senior art and visual culture major, said. \u201cIt gave me the opportunity to keep playing football and most importantly receive a great education.\u201d<\/p>\n

At LVC, Nelson has been a part of numerous clubs, organizations and events. As an athlete, he plays defensive back for the football team and sprints for the track and field team. He also runs paint nights, karaoke events, serves as an RA and works as security for the underground dances.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrick is one of the most positive people I have met at LVC,\u201d Ricky Bugg, a senior business administration major, said. \u201cHe always makes sure that you are in a good mood and tries to make the best out of every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the halftime break of LVC\u2019s Homecoming game against Stevenson University, Nelson and others were announced for this year\u2019s Homecoming court. As all of the names were announced Nelson and Teanna Shutt, a senior physical therapy major, were named this year\u2019s King and Queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one of the most nerve wracking moments of my life,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cWinning Homecoming King was a special moment and really showed me how loved and appreciated I am by my peers at LVC.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Nelson will graduate this school year, he has many plans for his future. He plans to attend graduate school and receive his master\u2019s degree in business.\u00a0 He’s also in search for internship opportunities that are local or in Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
