Columbia, SC - There's a new buzz at Allen University—and its frequency is coming Live from the Hive.
Introducing The Stinger Report, a groundbreaking student-led show powered by Allen University Athletics and the Sports Information & Communications Department. Its mission: give student-athletes a media platform to share their stories, build their brands, and gain real-world experience in sports media and business.
The inaugural host? None other than junior softball standout Destiny Breton—a Tampa, FL native and rising voice in both women's athletics and the NIL space.
"First and always, I thank God," Breton said.
"Being able to help empower women in sports—on and off the field—is a blessing. I'm grateful Coach PJ believed in me and trusted me to hold the first torch. He has everything professionally laid out for me to step right in and take this—as he says—as far as we want it to go. We just have to keep the positive energy flowing."
With The Stinger Report and NETPREP helping our generation learn the business behind the game, I truly believe this is going to be a game changer at Allen University and the best is yet to come."
Destiny Breton interviews Head Men's Basketball Coach Douglas Whittler and players.
Breton, who is one of multiple AU student-athletes, has been able to secure multiple NIL deals, hosted her debut episode featuring:
Head Men's Basketball Coach Douglas Whittler
Junior Guard/Forward Naji Wright
Junior Guard Sterling Blakely
