Former boxer and actor Randall “Tex” Cobb, 54, graduated from Temple – magna cum laude – at a ceremony in McGonicle Hall on Friday. Cobb received a degree in sports and recreation management after deciding to return to college about three years ago.

Cobb lost his chance at the Heavyweight title against Larry Holmes in 1982, and had a professional record of 43-7-1. The boxer-turned-actor performed in a number of small TV roles, including Walker, Texas Ranger, The X Files and MacGyver. He’s currently filming Shoot Out of Luck, a comedy action film about cowboys and gangsters.

Hope you never tried to take his seat in class.
