ITTA BENA, MS -- Back home in Franklin, Mississippi Valley State wide receiver Paul Cox (#84) had discipline instilled in his household at an early age. After all, his dad, Paul Cox Sr., is a master sergeant in the U.S. Army and his mom, Monica Cox, works at the clerk of courts for the St. Mary Parish court house.
“They always talked about discipline, discipline, discipline,” Cox said. “When I was younger, I never understood why my family was so hard on me.”
It was his family’s discipline that molded him into the man and football player he is today, Cox said. At seven years old, he recalls playing flag football in Morgan City, where his grandfather constantly told him to never quit, never stop, and to be the fastest person on the field.
