Tip of the cap goes out to

. He came back from a two game absence (hamstring) to lead the
#Gators
' defense with both eight tackles and 2.5 TFL.
And those stats don't even do him the full justice. He was EVERYWHERE today.
The last 4 players with 2 sacks in their NFL Debut:
—Joey Bosa, 2016
—T.J. Watt, 2017
—Myles Garrett, 2017
—JAMES HOUSTON IV, OUT OF JACKSON STATE, TODAY
Its Crazy B/C This Happens All Over The Country At Almost Every Power 5 Institution. My Experience at Jackson State, an HBCU, Was A Set Up For Me To Succeed, But It Did Not Sacrifice My Freedom or My Identity. Without Any Prejudice They Allowed Me To Be The Best Version Of Myself
IMO I understand the need to play against greater opponents from PWI’s right now for exposure, but I believe the greatest power is in the players! If we can get the best of us to play for HBCU’s then there no real need to go to these schools because the attention will be on US!🤷🏾♂️
Ultimately I feel that the change should be now! With the addition of NIL and great coaching staffs like Jackson State, Tennessee State, and Southern there’s no reason other than competiton that should stop any athlete from playing for an HBCU!
BREAKING:

! Your journey has only just begun, and it’s been a blessing to have a front row seat to watch it. You’ve already accomplished so much in your first 20 years, but keep grinding and it’s nothing compared to what lies ahead. 💪🏼 💯
