For Ole Miss safety Daijahn Anthony, everything is falling into place. He is coming off a 2023 season with three pressures, one sack, three interceptions, 61 tackles, a touchdown and a very impressive forced fumble. But it wasn’t always a sure thing and the path hasn’t been easy. Sitting down with him at the East-West Shrine Bowl in Frisco, Texas, Anthony shared his story, the ups and downs, and his current path to realizing his dreams of playing in the SEC and eventually, the NFL during an interview with Steelers Depot at the East-West Shrine Bowl.
From his childhood in Richmond, Virginia, he earned a scholarship to play Division II NCAA football at nearby Shepherd University.
