It's a White Thing at HBCUs
An excerpt from the NY Times -
White Kickers and Punters at Black Colleges Are a Thing
There are not many black kickers and punters in the country, even at the nation’s historically black colleges and universities.
By Marc Tracy
When Granville Eastman was Austin Peay’s defensive coordinator several years ago, his team frequently played Tennessee State, a historically black university in Nashville.
Every time Tennessee State sent players onto the field who were not black, he recalled half-jokingly last week, “that’s when you knew they were punting.”
Now Eastman is the interim head coach at another historically black university, North Carolina Central, and opposing coaches can say similar things about his team. The Eagles’ place-kicker is white. Same goes for the long snapper and the punter, who also holds the ball on field goals. An Italian, who is also white, handles the kickoffs.
