New feature on current @IndStFB offensive lineman @JusticeMusser as he speaks on life outside of football, as well as his work off the gridiron
#MarchOn | #LeaveNoDoubt
Justice Musser grew up in Damascus, a small town in Southwest Virginia with a population of approximately 780 residents. Known as “Trail Town USA” for its Seven Trails, Damascus is home to the well-known "Creeper Trail."
In 2018, Justice moved to Bristol, Tennessee, where he attended Tennessee High School and played on the football team. He was then recruited to play for @PrincetonFTBL.
While Justice was attending Princeton, his hometown endured devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Helene, which made landfall in September 2022.
"Seeing bridges being wiped out, the trail being erased from the side of the mountains, it was honestly heartbreaking,” he said. In July 2025, Justice founded The Ironwood Foundation with the goal of rebuilding the Creeper Trail and revitalizing Appalachia.
His passion for his hometown region is deeply ingrained. "Coal miners are in my family and this theme of being resilient, this theme of hard work and having a strong work ethic runs deep within our veins. [My great-grandmother’s] strength and her positivity was something that I will always carry with me throughout my life, and I think that sort of ties back into my love for the area."
Justice graduated from Princeton in 2026 with a bachelor of arts in anthropology and a minor in entrepreneurship. He currently attends Indiana State University with plans to attend law school and eventually move back to the Appalachia region to continue to give back to his community.

Princeton researchers have cleared a major hurdle toward the advent of practical quantum computing by developing a new kind of superconducting qubit that improves quantum coherence time by 15 times that of industry standards.
The new qubit design is similar to those already used by leading companies like Google and IBM, and could easily be slotted into existing processors, according to the researchers.

Yes, tiny tyrannosaurs lived alongside T. rex.
For decades, paleontologists have debated whether a small tyrannosauroid skull found in 1942 belonged to a juvenile T. rex or was a full-grown member of a previously unknown species, eventually dubbed Nanotyrannus lancensis.
A recent study in the journal Science, led by a collaboration between Princeton University and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, answers the question: Yes, Nanotyrannus is its own species, and this small skull represents a full-grown adult.
Prior to this study, the scientific community had come to a strong consensus that the specimen was juvenile T. rex, said Christopher Griffin, an assistant professor of geosciences at Princeton and the lead scientist on the project.
