HBCU athletes call for greater diversity at the NFL combine
Arkansas-Pine Bluff offensive lineman Mark Evans II
Florida A&M’s linebacker Isaiah Land
HBCU competitors in the NFL combine are looking for strategies to boost attendance at the yearly scouting event. The only players from HBCUs at this week's NFL recruiting combine were Mark Evans II of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Isaiah Land of Florida A&M, nearly three years after the NFL declared its support for improved diversity policies. Evans said, "I feel like they're making progress, but I feel like it most certainly should be more than two. "There are a number of good players out there, and I think we should be represented more," the player said. The UAPB offensive lineman even made recommendations for HBCU athletes who, in his opinion, ought to have the chance to participate in the NFL combine.
He suggests Southern University linebacker Jordan Lewis, 2023 Legacy Bowl defensive MVP Jason Dumas, and North Carolina Central offensive lineman Robert Mitchell as well as Lewis' college colleague. Inspiring other HBCU football athletes is Land's goal. He said, "I just want to give hope to those guys at the HBCU level, like you know you could make it to this point, so I strive to put my best foot forward every time. "You just have to be steady and have the mindset of the underdog." Evans agreed with the linebacker and pledged to support increasing awareness of HBCUs if selected for an NFL squad.

If everyone remained healthy, we always thought we could beat any team in the conference, and our predictions came true.
