Tavares "The Goat" Levarity was an explosive defensive tackle with outstanding quickness. He received the nickname, G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) dominating the line of scrimmage as a defensive player. Tavares is from Miami, Florida, where he played football at Hialeah-Miami Lake High School, and was recruited by coach Maurice Hunt to attend KSU.
 
As a freshman, he was able to secure a starting position as defensive tackle. During his freshman season, he excelled by leading the Thorobreds in tackles for loss, and amassing 44 tackles and 5 sacks, playing in only 9 games, due to an injury.
 
Levarity was the "ROCK" of the defensive line, becoming one of the best defensive lines in the nation. When coach George Small became the new head coach in 1995, his new system, with Tavares leading the way, helped lead KSU to its first winning season in 16 years. The driving force of the KSU defensive line helped the Thorobreds to a 7-4 record. He was the defensive captain, as they led the nation in total defense, holding opposing teams to under 200 total yards per game.  Levarity was consistently nominated as Defensive Player of the Week by the State Journal and the Sports View Black-College magazine.
 
He was a versatile defensive player.  During his senior year, 1996, he switched to the position of defensive end to fill in a void, but this change did not prevent him from being a top defensive lineman. He continued to provide non-stop pressure on his opponents and keeping the offense guessing on what he might to do next. 

Coach Small quoted, "Tavares uses his hands well and has tremendous intensity at the point of contact". 

Levarity was able to finish the season with 69 tackles and 5 sacks. In 1997, the team, along with the strength of Levarity, led the Thorobreds to it first and only Pioneer Bowl victory. His contributions to the game devastated the opposing team.  KSU ended the season with a 7-5 record defeating Livingstone College, 30-26 in the Pioneer Bowl Championship. KSU also led the Division II in defensive pass yardage, largely due to the upfront defensive pressure, by Levarity, to the opposing quarterbacks. He was instrumental in Kentucky State being ranked in the top five nationally on defense for two consecutive years, 1995 and 1996.
 
Hecurrently resides in Tampa, Florida and is an owner of an Avis/Budget rental franchise in downtown Tampa.
   
Stanley Mullins, a Greensboro, North Carolina (James B. Dudley High School) native, was a 440 Yard Dash High School state champion.  He set the schools and the North Carolina state record by running a 48.3 seconds.  He was a two time high school State Champion.  His outstanding performance caught the attention of Hall of Fame Coaches Sam Taylor and William Exum, who offered him a four year track & field scholarship to attend Kentucky State College (KSC).
 
Mullins made an immediate impact at KSC as he was a member on all three sprint relay teams, each of his four years.  During the 1960's, KSC was one of the best sprint teams in the country. He was considered one of the key athletes at KSC along with KSU and NCAA Hall of Famer, Jim Kemp.
 
Black colleges weren't able to earn All-American status from 1961 to 1965. KSC was a member in the Mid-Western Athletic Association Conference, where Stanley earned All-Conference honors as a member of the one mile relay teams in 1964 and 1965. He had a personal time of 46.8 seconds in the 440 yard dash. One of his greatest accomplishments came in 1965, when he was a member of KSC's sprint medley relay team that won the prestigious "Championship of America" race at the Penn Relay's held at the University of Pennsylvania. This was the first time KSC had ever won an event at the greatest track meet held in America. Mullins also earned his athletic letter each of his four years at KSC.
 
In addition to Mullins' achievements, he was also a member of the national leading indoor One Mile Relay in 1964, where they ran an outstanding time of 3:11.50. He also earned " KSC Freshman MVP" in 1961-62.   
 
After Mullins graduated for KSC, he attended George Washington University, where he earned his Master's Degree in 1967. He then joined the United States Army in 1969, where he was a member of the Army team in track and volleyball. Mullins earned several military honors as a member of those teams.
 
Once he finished his military time, Mullins began his teaching and coaching career in Washington DC at Cardozo High School. In 1972, he develop a new track program at H.D. Woodson High School. During his 10 years at Woodson, he developed eight high school All-Americans and one indoor record holder in the 70 yard dash, Darwin Cook.
 
In 1982, Mullins accepted the head track & field coach position at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC). He turned that program into NCAA Division II powerhouse.  During his time at UDC, he developed 17 men and women All-Americans and 32 Eastern Colligate Athletic Conference, All-Conference athletes.

Eric York was one of KSU defensive leaders. He was a hard-hitting strong safety with what was considered one of the best defensive backs in the nation among HBCU schools. A 1992 transfer student from Alabama State University, he immediately earned the starting defensive position under head coach Maurice Hunt.
 
York was a two-year starter and a KSU letterman. His impact on defense was the reason coach Hunt appointed him as the leader of the defensive backfield.  Eric called the shots, propelling the defensive backfield to be recognized nationally as one of the best.
 
KSU was not in a conference during the years he played with the University, and he was not granted an opportunity to receive All-American status among his peers.  York's statistics would certainly have placed him among the best in the nation among other HBCU and NCAA Division II defensive backfield players. In 1992, York had 114 solo tackles and 26 assisted tackles.  In 1993, he obtained 91 solo tackles and 39 assisted tackles and one interception. In 1992, York was featured in a National Football Magazine.
 
As a free agent in 1997, York had a tryout with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League.
 
Throughout his span at KSU, he was a resident assistant for five years, security officer for four years, and a director of the KSU housing department for three years. In addition, he was an Alcohol and Drug Peer Counselor for three years. York was also a tutor, counselor, and mentor at both Frankfort County High School and the Frankfort YMCA.
 
He was honored as a Gadsden Author for his book "Having Early Visions That moved Mountains, My Winning Purpose". This honor came by the Gadsden County Democratic Women's Club at the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Conference in Havana, Florida. The book dedication was held in June, 2019 at the William A.
