During the month of February, (Black History Month) members of the All-American team will be featured on the UrbanmediaToday.com website daily. Today we put the spot light on:

Bowie State’s Joshua Pryor : (Defensive Lineman)

#43  Senior
 6’2″  215lbs
Chesapeake, VA 
(Deep Creek High School )

2019 First Team All -MEAC Conference Team
2019 MEAC Defensive player of the Year 

North Carolina Central  Head Coach Trei Oliver  had an Eagle defense that was lead by MEAC Defensive player of the year Darius Royster. The 6’2″ 215 pound Redshirt Senior was a major problem for all Eagle opponents racking up 75 tackles, 16 tackles for loss (Including 9 sacks )and he forced three fumbles. Yep a major pain for any and all North Carolina Central Opponents

 

Darius excelled on the gridiron this season and his 9 sacks which caused a negative 63 yards for his opponents were more than any Eagle has accomplished in 30 plus years. The 75 total tackles he executed were more than any Eagle has accomplished in over 20 years. At one point this past season Royster gobbled up a tackle for loss in 10 consecutive games; Amazing. The big man finished third on the team in total tackles and over half of his tackles were all by his lonesome (44).

 

This  defensive lineman  had  a season high 10 tackles in games against Bethune Cookman  and finished 10 games this season with double digit tackles. The Chesapeake Virginia native was most definitely a bright spot despite  NCCU  finishing  2019 with only  4 wins against 8 losses
