University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior defensive lineman Devonnsha Maxwell earned All-American honors from the American Football Coaches Association today. The 6-2, 295-pound native of Valdosta, Ga., made the AFCA second team.
Maxwell is a two-time first team All-Southern Conference selection who has been among the league leaders in sacks each of the last two seasons. He was a Freshman All-American in 2018 and a Sophomore All-American in 2019.
Maxwell posted 5.0 sacks in four games played in the 2020-21 season. That mark is even more impressive number considering two of those contests were against triple-option Wofford and The Citadel. He tied for team-high with 7.0 tackles-for-loss, while forcing a pair of fumbles. Maxwell s 1.25 sacks-per-game and 1.75 TFLs per outing both led the SoCon this season.

Bubba Parham missed his first two shots of the night against a 2018 Kentucky team with Tyler Herro and Immanuel Quickley. Playing for Virginia Military Institute, Parham’s lone Division I offer, he quickly bounced back, hitting three consecutive 3-pointers. He finished the night with 10 breaking VMI’s single-game record.
Despite the loss, Parham won over the Rupp Arena crowd, and fans were even asking his mother, Cynthia, for autographs.
Graduation Plans
Norman Seabrooks
This May, approximately 1,000 cadets and Citadel Graduate College students will graduate from The Citadel. The college is laying the groundwork for in-person commencement ceremonies for both groups, and the speakers for the ceremonies are prepared to address cadets, students and their guests in person. Each graduate will be provided with electronic tickets for a limited number of guests because the college anticipates the need for continued social distancing.
“We surveyed last year’s graduates to ask what the two most important factors of commencement were to them. Overwhelmingly, the answers were to graduate alongside their classmates and to have their parents and family present,” said Citadel President Gen. Glenn M. Walters. “This year, with more time to plan than we had last spring, we are thrilled to be able to make that happen.”
