Elena Schwegman '25 blends Master of Accounting studies, Division I competition and football experience to build career in NFL administration
For Elena Schwegman '25, the path to a career in the National Football League didn’t begin on the field — but it has always been about the game.
A graduate student in the Master of Accounting program at Rice Business, Schwegman is combining her academic training, athletic experience, and professional internships to pursue a future in NFL football administration, with a focus on player contracts and salary cap management.
“I always wanted to play football growing up,” Schwegman said. “When I realized that wasn’t going to be my path, I started looking for other ways to be part of the game.”
