"You have 32 teams that come there to watch," Coach Berry told HBCU Legends. "You got eyes on you every day. So everything, how you dress, how you speak, how you interact, all those life lessons that I try to instill in my program...I was pouring that into those guys that I only knew for a week. And they understood that because every day is an interview. What a great experience. A first-class event."

The HBCU Legacy Bowl has invited 100 HBCU players to participate in the this season's annual contest in New Orleans, Louisiana.

It will be an exciting game to have the National Championship head coaches versus the runner-ups of HBCU Division I and II.
