DB Aaron Webb On Mississippi Valley State Commitment & Putting HBCUs On The Map
HBCUs often face an uphill fight in the battle for highly-sought after recruits and transfers. There’s a pervasive narrative that HBCU Football is less than and there’s no future that comes from the institutions that developed Jerry Rice, Steve McNair, Walter Payton and other NFL Legends. However, the narrative has shifted. A combination of the introduction of NIL (Name Image Likeness), the transfer portal, more access to football via streaming services and Deion Sanders’s two season tenure at Jackson State provided a renaissance to black college football. Top-tier athletes are once again considering our institutions and seeing the value we possess.
Enter Aaron Webb, a rising star with a relentless drive and an unwavering determination to reshape the narrative of HBCU Football. Previously, Webb was a member of the two-time OVC Champion UT Martin squad who upset #10 Missouri State in the 2021 FCS Playoffs. In this exclusive interview, we delve into Webb’s extraordinary journey from JUCO to FCS football and his vision for reshaping the landscape of HBCU football and Mississippi Valley State University.
