                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 16, 2025

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and commend an outstanding Mississippian, Mr. Casey D. Younger, Sr., 
for his exemplary academic achievements, athletic excellence, 
professional success, and recent induction into the Millsaps College 
Athletics Hall of Fame.
  A native of Vicksburg, Mississippi, Mr. Younger has always 
demonstrated a commitment to excellence. A proud graduate of Vicksburg 
High School, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political 
Science from Millsaps College in 2008, where he stood out as both a 
scholar and an athlete. He was named to the Dean's List, served as 
Chair of the Political Science Club, and received several athletic 
honors, including selection to the National Football Foundation 
Hampshire Honor Society, the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 
Team, and NCAA Football All-American honors.
  Mr. Younger continued his academic pursuits at the Mississippi 
College School of Law, earning his Juris Doctor degree in 2012. During 
his time in law school, he was awarded the Best Paper Award in the 
Constitutional Law Seminar, the John B. Fareese Trial Advocacy 
Scholarship, and the prestigious R. Jess Brown Award. He also held 
leadership roles as Vice President of the Black Law Students 
Association, Editor of The African American Law School Survival Guide, 
Chair of the Thurgood Marshall Trial Practice Team, and served as a 
Star Mentor to his peers.
  Today, Mr. Younger is a respected attorney based in Jackson, 
Mississippi. His primary areas of legal practice include medical 
malpractice defense, motor vehicle defense, nursing home and long-term 
care defense, premises liability, products liability, and workers' 
compensation defense.
  His athletic legacy continues to be recognized. In 2021, Mr. Younger 
was named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) 30th 
Anniversary Football Team and inducted into the Vicksburg Warren School 
District's Athletics Hall of Fame. Now, in 2025, Millsaps College has 
honored him as a member of its Athletics Hall of Fame--a fitting 
recognition of his contributions to collegiate athletics and leadership 
on and off the field.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 
remarkable life and accomplishments of M. Casey D. Younger, Sr. He is a 
shining example of the talent, discipline, and integrity that 
Mississippi produces and a role model for future generations.
