Recruiting in college football all comes down to a decision. Camron Douglas and Malik Ganaway wanted to play football in the SEC. The Volunteer State natives passed on scholarship offers from HBCU football programs to walk on with the University of Tennessee in 2022. Now, the defensive duo is not only staying in their home state but is embracing their opportunity to play at the HBCU level for head coach Eddie George and Tennessee State University.

Camron Douglas and Malik Ganaway’s football careers have been mirror images of one another for the past two years. They turned down scholarships at other schools for a priority walk-on opportunity at the University of Tennessee. Cameron Douglas, a defensive lineman from Haywood High School in Brownsville, Tennessee had offers from Vanderbilt, Memphis, and an offer from in-state HBCU Tennessee State University. But all it took was a visit to Rocky Top to make him want to stay in-state and play in the SEC.
