Eastern Kentucky Grad to Play in the Superbowl

Former Eastern Kentucky defensive back, Antwuan Molden, will be representing the Colonels in the Super Bowl.

Molden is from Warren, Ohio.  He wanted to play football at Warren Harding but he was undersized and slower than his classmates.  He worked hard and went out for track.  Eventually, he transferred to Cleveland Glenville to play for Ted Ginn Sr.

He improved enough to walk on at the University of Toledo, then transferred to Eastern Kentucky where he played three seasons.  The Houston Texans drafted Molden in the third round of the 2008 draft.

The former Colonel signed with the New England Patriots and played in all 18 games.  He finds himself in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants where he will bump into Mario Manningham, who played high school football at Warren Harding.

Molden joins Danny Copeland (Washington Redskins), Myron Guyton (New York Giants), John Jackson (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Tim Lester (Pittsburgh Steelers), as former Colonels that have played in the Super Bowl.
