After a week of practice following the 2023 HBCU Combine, the second annual HBCU Legacy Bowl has arrived.
Founded in coordination with the Black College Football Hall of Fame, the HBCU Legacy Bowl will provide an opportunity for the best of the best HBCU talent to show their skills in front of NFL decision-makers. The two teams are named to honor Jake Gaither (Florida A&M 1945-1973) and Eddie Robinson (Grambling State 1941-1997), who were two of the greatest and longest-tenured coaches in HBCU history.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and his foundation pledged a multi-year commitment to support the game in March of 2021. He even partnered with Coors Light to paint a spotlight on the players in attendance this year.
