Black College Football Hall of Fame Trustees James “Shack” Harris, Willie Lanier, Art Shell and Doug Williams made the announcement during the 2021 Black College Football Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Juneteenth Celebration in Atlanta.

The Award recognizes the most outstanding football player from HBCUs that embodies the rich tradition of athletic excellence and integrity.

“Aqeel had an amazing season,” said Harris. “He showed his character as a leader navigating his team through an unprecedented season and finishing undefeated.”

The Black College Football Player of the Year was voted on by a four-member Selection Committee, which is composed of Black College Football Hall of Fame Co-Founders James “Shack” Harris and Doug Williams, Power News Radio Network’s Ty Miller, and ESPN ​analyst Jay Walker.
