Little more than an hour northwest of Philadelphia, Albright's campus sits between the northern reaches of the Appalachians and a well-kept residential area in a city once dubbed the nation's poorest by the New York Times. It is not a place where anyone would go seeking attention or even entertainment; Albright is a place that prides itself on its intimate liberal arts education and relatively diverse student body (nearly 40 percent of students are non-white).
That remoteness didn't make Albright immune to controversy: In October 2016 -- Durante's first semester -- two students were suspended for appearing in an online video showing one in blackface makeup and that mocked the Black Lives [url=http://www.officialislandershop.com/authentic-86-nikolay-kulemin-jersey.html]http://www.officialislandershop.com/authentic-86-nikolay-kulemin-je...[/url] Matter movement.
"That caused considerable discontent," said Guillame de Syon, chair of Albright's history department. "Like all campuses, we've had these things and we were reeling a bit."

There was no censure for that flirtation with activism, Durante said. Marzka "talked to us as a team about it," he said. "But there were no one-on-one meetings, no repercussions over itDurante has also gained fans from much farther away: Oakland A's catcher Bruce Maxwell, who last month became the first MLB player to kneel during the anthem, sent him a message on Instagram. "Aye bro!!! Proud of you!," Maxwell wrote. "I'm glad you took a stand! It's bigger than sports!"
But even with all of the new attention and entreaties to devote himself more to activism, Durante said he just wants to finish out the semester and then resume his football career somewhere else. At least one nearby Division III school has already inquired about his interest, his father said.
One recent evening, munching slowly on pizza at the off-campus apartment he shares with a sophomore running back, Durante seemed much more concerned with his accounting test that week than his speech at the protest.
"I'll probably just speak from my heart," he said. "Grades come first.

Meanwhile, Durante made a fairly seamless transition to college.
