Old friends FAMU's Blount and HU's McGhee reunite on field

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Most folks outside of the District of Columbia hadn't heard much about Howard quarterback Greg McGee until this season, but he and FAMU's linebacker Akil Blount have some history.

Both played AAU basketball while growing up in Pittsburgh, Pa. There might be some argument who was the best on the court, but Saturday afternoon Blount was clearly the one who walked away with something to talk about after the Rattlers stunned HU on its homecoming, 31-28.

It was their third meeting as collegiate football players. They won't meet again, though. Blount is a junior.

McGhee graduates in December, said he's enjoyed every one of their meetings.
