Not one player from a Historically Black College or University was selected for the 2021 draft. So the Black College Hall of Fame decided to do something about that. The solution: The HBCU Legacy Bowl.
This first-of-its-kind all-star game will feature 100 of the best football players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country and give them the opportunity to showcase their skills. And Coors Light is a founding sponsor.
“Coors Light has been a great partner to me throughout many of my endeavors and I’m glad to have them on board as a partner of the HBCU Legacy Bowl,” says Patrick Mahomes. “It’s imperative we create a platform for HBCU players and help provide an opportunity to continue their career at the professional level.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Coors Light for the HBCU Legacy Bowl and are appreciative of their commitment to highlight player talent coming out of HBCUs,” says Co-Founder of the Black College Football Hall of Fame Doug Williams.
Following a week-long celebration of Black culture and history, the HBCU Legacy Bowl will take place at Yulman Stadium on Tulane University campus in New Orleans, LA on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at 3pm, and broadcast live on NFL Network.
