Reports reveal the Wake Forest alum remains active on a grassroots level, returning to campus to engage "Journeys to Success" talks with students while sharing his career experiences. He is reported to have future plans to launch a television production camp for children of low-income families.
DuBose's journey to becoming a "Rising Star" of Wake Forest University began after the former defensive lineman for the school's historic Demon Deacons football team accepted a WFU football scholarship – an offer presented to fewer than 3% of first year applicants. It is noted that DuBose earned his Broadcast Communications degree under communications mentor, Professor Mary Dalton.
Reports reveal DuBose led a brief NFL career, drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1990. Considering the obvious sports ingredient, clearly prevalent in early productions led by DuBose—including, Season of the Tiger—it would seem that his release from playing the NFL's defensive line merely applied to just that; just ask Michael Vick.
