Suge Knight
Everyone knows Suge Knight as the big bad guy of rap, even though he’s not a rapper. He helped bring prominence to Tupac and Snoop Dogg, and he even had a hand in catapulting Dr. Dre into international stardom. However, one thing led to another, and now, he’s serving a 22-year sentence.
Before he was a popular icon in hip hop, he attended Lynwood High School, where he joined the football and track team. After graduating in 1983, he went to El Camino College and later transferred to the University of Nevada, where he spent roughly three years playing. Suge joined the LA Rams’ training camp but never played for the team.
