Five HBCU Power Programs to Look for at the HBCU/NAIA Fall Evaluation Camp

The roster is shaping up! More than 30 powerhouse HBCU programs are officially confirmed for the 1st Annual HBCU/NAIA Fall Evaluation Camp, and they’re sending serious baseball minds to Frisco this November. These coaches aren’t coming to watch—they’re coming to recruit. 

Here’s a look at 5 coaches who will be stepping onto the field:

🏫 Wilberforce University — Coach Roosevelt Barnes
Barnes rebuilt Wilberforce baseball after an 80-year hiatus, working alongside the Cincinnati Reds’ RBI program to bring the Bulldogs back. His passion for opportunity and development makes Wilberforce a program to watch.

🏫 Wiley College — Coach Kendrick Biggs
Biggs, now in his fifth season, has built the Wildcats into consistent contenders in the Red River Athletic Conference. Known for developing talent and character, Biggs’ teams compete hard—and his players move on.

🏫 Texas College — Coach Damien Ovalle
Texas College continues to produce competitive baseball with a strong player development focus. Ovalle’s energy and recruiting mindset will make this team one to connect with during evaluations.

🏫 Stillman College — Coach Rashad Webster
At just 29, Webster has turned the Tigers into a team defined by discipline and growth. Under his leadership, Stillman’s batting average jumped from .248 to .306 and fielding percentage soared to .970.

🏫 Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) — Coach Olen Parker
Coach OP has already made history leading SUNO’s first varsity baseball program to a 17–21 inaugural season. He knows what it takes to compete and build from the ground up. 

These five programs represent the foundation of what this camp is all about—access, opportunity, and exposure. Head coaches will be on-site evaluating players, making connections, and scouting the next wave of HBCU talent.
