Michael Akins’ journey at Texas Southern is a masterclass in resilience. After battling through two torn labrums, he didn’t just bounce back—he found new purpose off the field, diving into reading and self-care. Now, as a senior, Akins is leading a defense that’s helping turn the Tigers’ program around, all while juggling a sports management degree and a summer internship. He’s got his eyes on the NFL, but what stands out most is his determination to stay loyal to his team and his roots. What do you think makes someone truly resilient? #Sports #Football #TexasSouthern
