Hundreds of elite college football stars are currently in Las Vegas with hopes of reaching new heights through the NFL.
With the 2022 NFL Draft underway, many fans are keeping a particularly close eye on whether any teams will end up recruiting athletes from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
Ultimately, a total of 32 athletes were recruited in the first round. However, none of them hailed from an HBCU.
The next 3 days will be life changing for HBCU’s ! Athletes will realize you can go to the @nfl from HBCU’s. We will have up to 8 players drafted prayerfully. It’s been to long but not to late. Let’s go @nfl let’s advance equality to the overlooked & the underfunded. #CoachPrime
