It's another unforgettable episode of HBCU Legends! In today’s show, host Kyle T. Mosley is joined by Houston broadcast legend Ralph Cooper to break down all the excitement and controversy surrounding HBCU athletes in the latest NFL Draft. From the head-scratching slide of Shadeur Sanders to the inspiring journeys of HBCU players making their mark as draftees and undrafted free agents, Kyle and Coop dive deep into what these numbers mean and why they matter for HBCUs everywhere.

Along the way, you’ll hear legendary stories—like Coop’s firsthand account of being ringside at the Rumble in the Jungle and his interviews with sports icons from Muhammad Ali and George Foreman to Wilma Rudolph and Jesse Owens.

Plus, the guys talk about the impact of NIL deals, the role of privilege in pro sports, and the ongoing challenges HBCU athletes face at the professional level.

We’re also celebrating HBCU excellence, from Robert Brazile’s legacy and upcoming honors to the historic role of Black college athletes in the NFL. And don’t miss updates on classics like the Orange Blossom Classic and who to look out for in next season’s gridiron showdowns.
