HBCU careers in football - Anyone here part of a football forum or community?

Hey everyone, I'm a junior and pretty serious about football. I've been looking into colleges with great football teams and HBCUs have caught my attention. Does anyone know if there are forums or communities where I can get more info about HBCU football teams and career options? I want to keep playing in college and hopefully go pro, so any tips would be great!

Hey there! I totally get your interest in football and aiming for the pros. My daughter is actually in college now and had friends from high school who were passionate about sports – some headed towards HBCUs, too! While I don't know of any forums dedicated solely to HBCU football, I can recommend checking out each school's official athletic page for starters. They often highlight not only their teams' achievements but also alumni success stories which might include professional careers. Also, consider reaching out to coaches via email to learn more about their programs and how they support athletes moving into professional careers.

On a more personal level, it could be really beneficial for you to attend college football camps or combines – they are a hub of information and networking opportunities. Some are even specifically geared towards HBCU recruitment. It's a place where coaches from different colleges check out potential recruits, and athletes can get a feel for the level of competition. You can look up 'HBCU football camps' or similar keywords to find upcoming events.

Finally, there's definitely a community on social media; try Twitter and Instagram where players, coaches, and sports commentators often engage in discussions about college football. Hashtags like #HBCUFootball can be a good start. Best of luck with your football journey!
