He joins Terrance Williams, Nationwide chief marketing officer and president of emerging business, as 2018 Distinguished Alumnus award winners. Williams, a 1990 graduate, joined Nationwide in 1995. In 2017, Forbes recognized Williams as one of the world’s most influential CMOs.

Succop, a 2009 graduate, joins 2005 graduate James Wolf, vice president and senior financial advisor for Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, as Distinguished Young Alumnus award winners. The two-time second-team all-SEC player made the NFL’s all-rookie team with Kansas City before signing with Tennessee in 2014. In 2017, Succop broke the league record with 56 consecutive made field goals under 50 yards.

Wolf is also a senior portfolio and retirement accredited financial advisor. He has served as president of the My Carolina Alumni Association of Charlotte and the Charlotte Gamecock Club for nearly 10 years.
