Sports Forum / Re: “HBCU Jump” hopes to push top athletes to HBCUs

« on: Today at 10:46:40 AM »

For athletes, the recruiting process can be exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. With big-name programs and coaches knocking on their doors, top recruits can often go wherever they want. And for some of this year’s top recruits, that is Historically Black Colleges and Universities. And they’re getting support from a social media movement birthed in the Triad called HBCU Jump.
