The Quincy Avery Effect: How One HBCU Alum Is Redefining The Modern-Day Quarterback And His Community
Jun 3, 2025
HOUSTON —"I train more NFL quarterbacks than anybody in the world," Quincy Avery noted in his HULU documentary. "But, this is bigger than football."
Confidence is at the core of Morehouse Men, but also vision. Quincy Avery has gone from humble beginnings to redefining the quarterback position and careers of collegiate and NFL stars. His journey shows the power of perseverance, HBCU pride, and leveling the playing field for the next generation.
"There's also a story, like perseverance," Quincy Avery told HBCU Legends. "The things that it takes for you to be successful, the ability to work through adversity. It's a story that relates not only to football fans and quarterbacks but people who are going through life."
Before Quarterback Takeover, the celebrated quarterback coach played for the Maroon Tigers. Avery credits the HBCU Division II program for providing him with an education in psychology, as well as helping to shape his life as a young black man.
"You learn how to adapt," Avery said, recalling the trials of navigating long registration lines, obstacles with financial aid, and the resilience built by facing and overcoming those everyday challenges on campus. "You learned unique skills. How to get through and find a solution when a solution is not readily available."
