Darriell (Roco) Owens (Sophomore – Proviso West High School), defensive back on the 2009-2010 Harper College football team, will be attending Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois, this spring.
“Roco did an unbelievable job for us this fall,” said Harper’s Head Football Coach Eric Waldstein. ” He isn’t the biggest guy on the field, but he plays with the biggest heart. Roco was a force on special teams and rarely makes a mistake at corner. He was one of the best tacklers on the team. He will be missed next season both on and off the field. I believe Roco will do a great job at Millikin and could be an All-CCIW player there.”
Millikin is a member of the CCIW athletic conference. Millikin finished last season 3-4 in the CCIW and 6-4 overall.
