Life keeps knocking Deion Holliman down, but the former MSU football star keeps getting back up

MSU wide receiver and kick returner Deion Holliman wore a GoPro during practice.

Deion Holliman saw things that no young person should see when growing up.

He lost friends and people he loved due to violence while growing up in the projects in Camden, Arkansas. It was a path that he easily could have gone down, but he decided it wasn't for him.

The former Missouri State football star still stays in contact with some of those who he grew up with. They tell him they live their dreams through the one he still actively pursues today.
