PINE BLUFF, AR. — The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) Department of Athletics proudly announces the return of NFL 5-time Pro Bowl and Golden Lion legend Terron Armstead as the program's first-ever Golden Lions Athletics Ambassador.

Armstead, one of the most decorated student-athletes in UAPB history, excelled in both football and track & field during his tenure. He was an 8-time Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) individual champion (indoor and outdoor combined) in track & field, showcasing elite dominance in the throwing events.

On the gridiron, Armstead helped lead the Golden Lions to the 2012 SWAC Football Championship and HBCU National Championship, capping a historic collegiate career.

He further solidified his legacy on the national stage at the 2013 NFL Combine, where he recorded a blazing 4.71-second 40-yard dash and ran the fastest time ever by an offensive lineman since the combine began in 1982.

Following his time at UAPB, Armstead launched an exceptional professional career, spending 12 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He emerged as one of the league's premier offensive linemen, earning five Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro honors while starring with the New Orleans Saints and later the Miami Dolphins.

A proud representative of UAPB throughout his career, Armstead now returns in a role centered on impact and inspiration. As Athletics Ambassador, he will engage with student-athletes, connect with alumni, and support key initiatives aimed at elevating Golden Lions Athletics.

"Armstead's appointment marks a significant step forward in strengthening the connection between UAPB's storied past and its future, while continuing to build a culture of excellence across all programs."
