Liberty University has announced that Tim Tebow will deliver the commencement speech for Liberty’s 2021 Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 15 at 7 pm. The event will be virtual and will take place at the Center for Music and the Worship Arts Concert Hall and will be streamed online.
“I’m excited to return to Liberty’s campus,” Tebow said in a statement. “Liberty is a special place, and they are doing great work in advancing His Kingdom. I’m honored to celebrate these new graduates, recognize their achievements, and encourage them to go out and impact this world.”
Tebow is a former professional athlete, author, speaker, and philanthropist. He excelled on the gridiron for the University of Florida where he won the Heisman Trophy before a brief career in the NFL with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets. Following his football career, Tebow switched to the diamond where he played in the minor leagues with the New York Mets from 2016-2021.
This will be Tebow’s second visit to the Liberty campus as he previously spoke at Liberty’s Convocation in March 2013.
