(S16) - PT2 - College Years

[NylarthePhoenix]

Apollo's first choice for college was, of course, the University of Cincinnati. However, UC did not make Apollo an offer. Therefore, Apollo Reed chose to spent all four of his years of NCAA eligibility at Miami University, just north of his hometown of Cincinnati. In the years prior to Apollo's tenure, Miami's football program was decent at best. In fact, they hadn't broken the AP Top 25 in almost two decades. However, new prospects from low-level high schools around Ohio began coming to Miami. This led to one of the best teams Miami has seen. These prospects included Apollo's best friend all throughout college, Summer Jacobson. Summer was the programs first female quarterback and considered their best since Roethlisberger. Reed and Jacobson became close due to a shared history in rough neighborhoods and being in the same graduation class. It was winning the Alamo Bowl that cemented the legacy of Apollo Reed and his teammates. The night of the victory, a huge campus-wide party broke out for the team, and Reed was declared the Offensive Player of the Game, alongside his best friend, Jacobson, who was declared MVP. Reed was the only one from his graduation class to be drafted into the NSFL, but he tried intensively to convince Jacobson to declare for the draft alongside him. Unfortunately for Apollo, she instead decided to pursue her major, and Apollo has not met her in person sense.
