Michael Vick Offers Scholarship to McNabb Jr.

Michael Vick, now head coach of Norfolk State's football program, has offered a scholarship to Donovan McNabb Jr., son of former NFL star Donovan McNabb, whom Vick played alongside during his tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. McNabb Jr., a promising wide receiver from Brophy Prep, has also received offers from several other schools including Arizona and Syracuse, continuing the tradition of NFL lineage in college football. Vick and McNabb's short-lived partnership on the Eagles in 2009 saw McNabb mentoring Vick during his NFL comeback. The offer to McNabb Jr. highlights Vick's commitment to building a competitive team at Norfolk State and follows a trend of HBCUs recruiting the offspring of former NFL players, such as DeSean Jackson's recruitment of Antonio Gates Jr. at Delaware State. McNabb Jr. expressed excitement at the prospect of playing for Vick, citing the historical connection with his father as a significant factor in his consideration.
