Looking to close my recruiting process January 20th. I want to go into this next semester 100% focused on academics, molding my body, and perfecting my craft to go be able to win a job in fall camp at my next school. These next 2 years are going to be legendary. @JuCoFootballACE
One hundred and forty-two wins and just 38 losses between 1946 and 1970. Seven undefeated seasons, multiple conference championships, four legendary coaches, 30 eventual professional players, five Super Bowl participants, collegiate and professional Hall of Famers, a rock star, a civil rights activist, and an aide to Bobby Kennedy. Maryland State College, now known as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, is arguably the greatest college football program that most sports fans have never heard of! Maryland State College, located in Princess Anne, Maryland, is one of the historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) in the United States. Except for the school's archives, there has been little published on the program's history. This article does the following: 1) analyzes the role Jim Crow played in the success and demise of Maryland State football, in particular, and HBCU football, in general, 2) highlights the program's notable players and coaches, and 3) assesses the program's impact on local race relations in an area that is best known for having the state's most horrific lynching. Maryland State's story is still relevant today because it addresses the various ways in which race has shaped the evolution of collegiate football.

The starting halfback for the Jets during this era was Emerson Boozer, a Maryland State College (now, University of Maryland Eastern Shore) 2x All-American that lead the AFL in touchdown in 1967. Yes, UMES did have a powerhouse football program from 1946-1970. This is a black excellence story for another day.

I am aware that there’s confusion regarding my years of eligibility. I’ve decided to return for my last year of eligibility and pursue my graduate degree. I appreciate all the senior games and showcase invitations, but there’s unfinished business. @HCWillieSimmons@FAMU_FBpic.twitter.com/L4E4H0eKjQ

Always love the positive feedback we get from #NFL scouts about how easy we make facilitating participants' interviews! And with teams not splitting their scouting staff between the @NFLPABowl & @ShrineBowl this year, considerably more scouts are expected to be in attendance! https://t.co/sol21hdnFo
There aren’t many venues as storied as the Rose Bowl 🌹
We’re pumped to be back in the historic stadium this year. At our game, players get the chance to showcase their talents in one of college football’s best spots.
