BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Prairie View’s Johnta’ Hebert was perfectly comfortable piling the type of statistics that eventually earned him All-Southwestern Conference and All-American recognition.
But the former Glen Oaks standout, entering his final season, wanted more out of his career.
“I took a step away from the personal goals and just wanted to win,” Hebert said. “My main goal is to win a SWAC championship and (HBCU) national championship.”
As fate would have it, with Southern (3-2, 3-0 SWAC) holding its homecoming at 4 p.m. Saturday, Hebert’s preseason objectives are riding on his own personal homecoming when Prairie View (3-2, 3-1) visits Mumford Stadium.
“I can’t even dial down the hype,” said Hebert, noting he tried this week to secure 20-30 tickets for family. “It’s a big game for me, with this being my last time to play in Baton Rouge. More importantly it’s a big game for our season if we want to keep our hopes alive.”
