HBCU sees a top scorer hit portal after suspension
Recently suspended North Carolina A&T guard Landon Glasper appears to have played his last game for the HBCU. Glasper, who is currently second on the squad in scoring, is hitting the transfer portal according to On3Sports.This news comes just over a week after Glasper was one of three players suspended indefinitely by head coach Monté Ross.
Landon Glasper was second on the team in scoring to Ryan Forrest, who was also suspended last week. He averaged 18.5 points per game on 33.2 percent shooting after being named a unanimous preseason first-team All-CAA selection. He scored 29 points three times this season, most recently against Stony Brook.
The Fayetteville, AR native led North Carolina A&T in scoring during his first season at the HBCU during the 2023-2024 season as he averaged just under 21 points and shot just under 40 percent after joining the squad in Ross' first season. Glasper hit the transfer portal following the season, but elected to return to the HBCU squad.
In 45 games with the program, Ross averaged 19.8 points per game and 1.4 steals.
NCAT is currently 4-20 and on a 10 game losing streak.

Austin McCollum earns second in the Texas-Oklahoma Junior Golf Tournament
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Austin McCollum is a name one should become familiar with on the links. The freshman won a TAPPS 1A state championship and recently added a T-O Junior Golf Open Championship division runner-up to his collection. 'It was really amazing,' McCollum said. 'I mean, just everybody around me was so supportive. Being a local kid here, I heard there had to be crowd control because of all the people. It was really amazing.' McCollum started day two, two strokes behind the top spot. By the 9th hole, he had a one stroke lead. McCollum battled with Reed Blacklock, a senior from Lubbock, all the way until the final hole. The duo ended up tying, and they went into a tiebreaker. He ended up finishing second in his debut. While this was not the result he wanted, he knows this is just the beginning. 'I think I can learn,' McCollum said. 'I'm the youngest kid in almost every event I've played in, I'm still right there with every single one of them. That is a really big motivator, even coming up just short.' For the full story, please click on the video at the top of this web page. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

HBCU Contender to Face DII Titan in Week Zero Classic
The stage is set. On August 30, 2025, at historic Legion Field, in Birmingham, Alabama, Clark Atlanta University will face DII powerhouse Valdosta State in the Week Zero Labor Day Classic. A game that should be circled on the calendars of all HBCU football fans. What makes this game even more electric? It's more than just football. The Week Zero Classic is a multi-day cultural celebration that includes celebrity flag football, live concerts, food festivals, and esports tournaments. And at the heart of it all is one of the most intriguing matchups of the 2025 season: an emerging HBCU contender versus one of Division II's most decorated programs. Just two years ago, Clark Atlanta University football was struggling, finishing the 21023 season winless at 0-10. But the hiring of head coach Teddy Keaton changed everything. Keaton, a proven program builder with previous stops at Stillman and Allen University, wasted no time flipping the culture. In 2024, Clark Atlanta shocked the conference with a 7–3-1 record and a trip to the SIAC Championship Game-their first in over a decade. The engine behind the Panthers' resurgence? Quarterback David Wright, who threw for 3,271 yards and 31 touchdowns. Wright was named SIAC Offensive Player of the Year, and Keaton took home Coach of the Year honors. Now, the Panthers are no longer just a feel-good story. They're a legit contender-and their Week Zero test might be their biggest yet. Valdosta State is the gold standard of DII football. With four national championships (2004, 2007, 2012, 2018) and countless Gulf South titles, the Blazers have dominated the division for over two decades. But 2025 marks a new chapter. Former head coach Tremaine Jackson-a rising star in coaching circles-recently accepted the head job at FCS HBCU Prairie View A&M, creating a ripple effect through the program. While Valdosta remains loaded with talent, the departure opens the door for challengers-and Clark Atlanta aims to kick it in. This game is also the first of two back to back marquee matchups for Valdosta against rising HBCU powers. The Blazers will face Johnson C. Smith University the following week in Charlotte. Games that could help close the gap between PWI dominance and HBCU resurgence in DII football. The Week Zero Labor Day Classic is the ultimate fusion of culture, competition, and community.
