SCSU Football: Hargrave’s hard-working holidays
SALISBURY, Maryland — North Rowan graduate Javon Hargrave has been transformed from a guy with NFL dreams to a guy with realistic NFL possibilities.
The South Carolina State junior did a lot to raise his stock on Oct. 25 when his team won, 20-14, against Bethune-Cookman, the 13th-ranked team in the FCS poll. Hargrave, a 6-foot-2, 310-pound defensive tackle, made 11 tackles in that physical struggle between bitter Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rivals. Six of his tackles were sacks.
Seriously — six sacks. Hargrave made sacks when he was lined up inside and he made sacks from the outside. He broke the school single-game record and tied the MEAC and FCS records. He was the national player of the week.
“That one game changed my life — it really did,” Hargrave said. “Since that game, lots of scouts have come around to watch me. That game was the spark for a lot of good things that have happened to me.”
It’s hard to believe but Hargrave’s physical status was doubtful going into the Bethune-Cookman game.
