Wilton sat down with Brandon “BJ” Jones, a contributor for HBCU GameDay and host of a new podcast entitled “The Barbershop with BJ Jones” coming soon on the OpenMic Network.
BJ is a graduate of Southern University in Baton Rouge where he played football under legendary coach Pete Richardson. BJ and I met on the sidelines of the football field as we covered the 2018 Football Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championship game for HBCU GameDay.
Not only was BJ a solid athlete, he took a lot of lessons from the game and applied them to his life and beyond. While he never thought he would get into sports journalism, BJ finds himself immersed in it.
Sit back and get ready to listen as he discusses the state of the black athlete, the HBCU experience, Deion Sanders’ hiring at Jackson State, his thoughts on sports leagues impact on Breonna Taylor’s decision and more.
