Early years

DuBose was born on June 20, 2001, in Montgomery, Alabama. [1] [2] He attended Park Crossing High School and was teammates with Malik Cunningham. [3] Despite competing with and against many top prospects, he was a zero-star recruit and had no offers coming into his senior year. [4] [5] He received his only offer, from the Division II Miles College, ten days before signing day and accepted it. [4]

College career

As a freshman at Miles in 2019, DuBose saw limited action as a backup, appearing in ten games while posting 104 receiving yards with one touchdown. [3] [4] The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and during that time he worked several part-time jobs, including one bagging groceries and another at Walmart. [3] [4] The next year, DuBose opted to transfer. [5] He met with James Foster, a childhood friend and backup quarterback at Division I FBS Charlotte, and Foster convinced DuBose to attend a summer tryout for the school. [3]

DuBose made the team and exceeded his entire receiving total at Miles in his first game with Charlotte, posting 118 yards and two scores against Duke in the opener. [6] He totaled 62 receptions for 892 yards with six scores on the year. [5] As a senior in 2022, he recorded 64 catches for 792 yards with nine scores, the latter statistic tying a program record. [5] [7] He finished his stint at the school with 24 games played and 126 receptions for 1,684 yards with 15 scores, placing him third in team history in touchdowns even though he only played two years with them.
