"They Doubted Us": Penn State Recruits Kevin Brown & Messiah Mickens Expose Haters, NIL Truths & 6A Domination
🏈 Kevin Brown & Messiah Mickens weren’t always 4-star recruits. Now, the Harrisburg Cougars stars sit down with The Good Hustle to talk about injuries, haters, NIL, and why they chose Penn State over Bama, UGA & more.
In this unfiltered and inspiring episode, John Henry talks with two of the most recruited players in the country about:
✔ Messiah’s breakout: From 2A to 6A, silencing doubters and winning Gatorade PA Player of the Year
✔ Kevin's comeback: From a broken foot to playoff hero. How rehab broke him before it built him
✔ NIL realities: “Third-string guys at Penn State get paid. I’m not gonna be broke like my dad was.”
✔ Why Penn State: Real love over flashy visits to Alabama, Georgia and Florida
✔ Senior year mission: “It’s state chip or bust. We’re leaving a legacy.”
🔥 RAW QUOTES:
💬 “Keyboard warriors? They’re eating chips on the couch.” – Messiah
💬 “I fight dirty in the trenches. Bite me? I’ll bite back.” – Kevin
