At UNC Pembroke, Vereen played on the defensive side of the ball racking up 22 solo tackles including six tackles for a loss. He also had the game winning interception in UNC Pembroke's Homecoming victory over the Mountain East Conference (MEC) co-leader Charleston.

Dance played linebacker at Tiffin University and was a dominant player in the win over Dominican. Dance led the defense with nine tackles, three of which were solo, four sacks, and two forced turnovers. Both of these players bring skill and determination to the Sharks 2024 roster.
