Savannah, Georgia - Shannon Sharpe led the Tiger Walk to renovated T.A. Wright Stadium on Saturday afternoon before Savannah State met Howard University in the school’s first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference home game.
He attended a luncheon earlier in the day and an induction ceremony for the school’s athletic hall of fame on Friday night. “I would like to become more active in the program,” said Sharpe while meeting with the media during some spare time Saturday.
Those are melodious words for a new administration at Savannah State, trying to start new traditions while embracing some of the old.
Sharpe, 43 and still in football shape, is part of the school’s good, old days — a local kid from nearby Glennville who came to Savannah State College in the ’80s when bigger school wouldn’t touch a Prop 48 player.
All Sharpe did was star for four years with the then-Division II Tigers before becoming an even bigger deal in the National Football League, earning his own induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame about two months ago.
