Devon Ladson, more formerly known as "Big D", hails from North Charleston, SC. He is known for his appearance in the Cack Chronicles TV Mini-Series. Ladson played college football at South Carolina State University from 2005-2008, not missing a single game in all his years. He became the first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player to win consecutive defensive player of the year honors, and assisted the Bulldogs to consecutive conference championships. In 2007, he was a first team selection on the AFCA College-Division All-America team and set school records with 117 tackles and 17 sacks. With Ladson as their captain, the Bulldogs defense recorded six shutouts in 2007, and held their opponents to just 29 points, an NCAA record for a ten game season. Ladson's Bulldog teammates included former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Anthony "Hot Body" Thomas and former Kansas City Royals first baseman Pachino Dino. In 2009, Ladson was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
