The HBCU Legacy Bowl is a postseason all-star game featuring the top 100 draft-eligible players from HBCUs. The inaugural game is set to be played on February 19, 2022 at Tulane University’s Yulman Stadium. “It’s an honor to support the Black College Football Hall of Fame and HBCU Legacy Bowl in their efforts to provide more opportunities for students attending historically black colleges and universities,” Wagner said via a press release. Wagner has spoken in the past about his interest in HBCUs, which was sparked when a friend from home went to Howard University in Washington, D.C. After the 2018 season, he began researching ways to get involved with HBCUs himself. “If I had the knowledge that I have now, I would have [gone to an HBCU]” Wagner said to The Athletic in 2019. “That’s not a shot at Utah State. Obviously, I’m grateful for the experience. But I think there’s something to be said for being in (the HBCU) environment.”Social Post Of The Day Russell Wilson and Will Dissly get some offseason work in ahead of training camp:More From Around The Web Seahawks.com reporter John Boyle looks at the competition for the No. 3 receiving spot in his latest Top Training Camp Storylines.
