Mykell Harvey will be attending North Carolina A&T where he will play football and basketball. For Harvey, the decision to play two sports was a no brainer.

When they came to my game, that really meant a lot to me because a lot of colleges, they have games the day after, so for them to come to my game and watch me and support me and offer me after that game, it just meant a lot to me, it just stood out,” Harvey said.
