Division 1 Rejects

Sorry for the break in episodes, but I think you'll agree that this one was worth the wait. Alma QB Carter St. John joins the show to talk about his new Nonprofit, QBs vs. Cancer, contributing to organizations across the country with current student athletes. Kobe and Jimmy break down even more D2/D3 prospects you need to know about before the draft, and we finish it off with some basketball talk as one senior got the surprise of a lifetime before his last collegiate game. If you'd like to become a part of QB's vs Cancer or find out more information, here is the link to their website. I'd highly encourage you at least take a look and spread the word!
