SHAVON REVEL JR. had finished a 10-hour overnight shift at an Amazon warehouse in Kernersville, North Carolina, scanning boxes and loading trucks. He could barely keep his eyes open.
"I was tired, and I mean tired as hell," Revel said.
But rather than head home for eight hours of shut-eye, Revel took a quick nap in his father's car while waiting for his dad's shift at Amazon to end. They then made the two and a half hour drive to East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, with hopes of keeping Revel's football dream alive.
