DURHAM, N.C. — North Carolina Central University head coach LeVelle Moton is being celebrated in a new way this fall. Sportswear company 99 Jersey has released an exclusive throwback jersey recognizing Moton’s phenomenal HBCU playing career and long-standing impact on the NCCU basketball program.
Moton’s connection to NCCU runs deep. A standout guard from 1992 to 1996, he finished his career as the Eagles’ third all-time leading scorer with 1,714 points and earned the 1996 CIAA Player of the Year award.
