MEAC defensive player of the year Decobie Durant is ready for the next level after one final big game for S.C. State

No one loves an underdog story more than Decobie Durant.

Being overlooked and underestimated before triumphing resonates with the graduate defensive back, who went from @SCState_Fb walk-on to @MEACSports Defensive Player of the Year 👏🏾https://t.co/Ldh2egg62N

Many people say successful college football programs are about TALENT acquisition. That’s not the FAMU way. We’re about RELATIONSHIP acquisition! Real, genuine relationships that allow growth through caring for the person, not his talents! If you want that, FAMU wants you! 🐍🐍🐍

Many go to PWIs because the narrative has been created that those schools are “better” than HBCUs, even those at the G5 and FCS level. We’re being conditioned to think that OUR brand is inferior. At the end of the day, a football player can accomplish ALL of his goals at an HBCU!
