TUSKEGEE, Ala. – Tuskegee Athletics will be represented I the famed Rucker Park in Harlem, New York this summer as a trio of student-athletes have been selected to participate in the 2023 HBCU All-Star Dream Classic.

Second Team All-SIAC guard Devin Booker has been chosen from the Golden Tiger program for the men's roster, while Ashiala Jackson, the two-time Player of the Year and JuToreyia Willis, the two-time SIAC Defensive Player of the Year, will represent on the women's side.

The basketball event featuring both a men's and women's game on Saturday, August 5. Current HBCU coaches will lead both sides for the men's affair, with former NBA star and Fisk head coach Kenny Anderson leading one side, while Clark Atlanta head coach and fellow New York native Alfred Jordan will lead the other. The event is being produced by Bridging Structural Holes, Inc.

"The Summers are slow for the narrative development of HBCU. No graduations, No Homecoming and very little to connect the Culture to the Community. We found that special mixture of everything you experience at an HBCU. Bringing together these players, some of whom made All Conference, All American and place them literally under the lights of Broadway is Unprecedented and Epic," said Bridging Structural Holes founder Darryl Roberts.

An award/tribute will be made to Robert "Bob" McCullough, HBCU Legend, Harlem Icon, Trailblazer and Co-Founder of National Each One Teach One youth Sports Mentoring Program. Mr. McCullough will receive an award in his name that will be awarded to future recipients that provide service to the community of Harlem.

'Watching the HBCU Allstar Dream Classic at Rucker Park will be like witnessing history in motion. The passion and skill displayed by the Men's and Women's teams will be a testament to the power of sport to bring people together with intention," said co-producer Rachel E. Naughton.

The HBCU All-Star women's game begins at 4:30pm and will be followed by the men at 7:00pm.
