Morehouse offensive lineman Ramone Harewood has options. If a professional career in the NFL doesn’t pan out, he can always make someone’s national cricket, rugby or volleyball team.
Harewood was born and raised in Barbados, the Caribbean island nation with a population of about 280,000. It is 166 square miles, about one-third the size of Fulton County. He had a passion and a gift for sports of all kind, including soccer, track and field, cricket and his first love, volleyball. He played on junior national teams at various times in rugby, track and field and volleyball and received interest from British colleges for rugby, he said.
It wouldn’t be unusual for someone with his size and agility to get a long look from some NFL teams. Look at what’s happening for former Stillman standout Sammie Lee Hill, now making a name for himself with the Detroit Lions.
