Kent State’s football “team room” was recently named in honor of Jim DeVincentis, a 1984 inductee into the Varsity “K” Hall of Fame. The newly-renovated space includes extensive wall graphics, an enhanced video system and ample seating for the entire team.

DeVincentis was a four-time NCAA qualifier and was twice voted captain of Kent State’s swimming team. Named the Mid-American Conference’s Most Outstanding Swimmer in 1975, the McKeesport, Pa., native won 13 MAC Championships (6 individual, 7 relay) and set three school and seven conference records.
 
“I’ve grown to know Jimmy D as a man who has tremendous passion for his alma mater and the welfare of our students,” says Kent State Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen. “We’re fortunate to have him as part of the Kent State family.”
 
DeVincentis graduated from Kent State in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications & business and currently serves as member of the National Athletic Development Council.
