Around The Hive Podcast (Presented by R.E.D. Team)

It's been a while! To kickoff the return of the podcast into the spring semester, Keric Jackson and Isaac Blue welcome in two of the leaders of the Shenandoah Football team, Quarterback Steven Hugney and graduating Cornerback Keyshawn Wilder! In this episode, we take a look back at the 2023 Football season and look ahead to the next, as Hugney discusses his plans as the head of the Hornets' offense, and Wilder dives into his role with the team beyond his playing years. Coach Blue offers some quick hit questions to stir the pot a little bit, and it all wraps up with Keyshawn's role with the R.E.D. Team!

The SU Men's Soccer team had a major turnaround since Head Coach Brandon Kates was hired just two years ago, going from an 11th place finish to a 4th place finish and hosting an ODAC Tournament game for the first time in program history. Both Coach Kates and two-time All-ODAC striker Nathan Yared join the show to reflect on the last two seasons, as well as have a chat about the importance of the sport in terms of diversity and individuality, led by Isaac Blue.
