PHILADELPHIA — Harold Carmichael was a wiry teenager hanging out at a teammate's house when he decided he wanted to play football at Southern University.
Recruiters from the university had been to Carmichael's Jacksonville, Fla., high school, but his interest wasn't solidified until he found yearbooks for two historically Black colleges and universities while at teammate Blyden Geiger's house.
Carmichael and Geiger looked at both yearbooks, the pictures of the campuses, the students there, the sports teams, and decided right there.
