(AP) — The first black cadet to play football at The Citadel is returning to campus.

Seabrooks graduated in 1973, three years after the then all-male school graduated its first black student.
Seabrooks started for three years on the football team, was named all-Southern Conference in 1972 and served as a team co-captain while playing for coach red Parker.
After graduation he has had a successful career in health insurance with Aetna Inc. and is now a regional market president for the company in Seattle.
