Interestingly, Blueface also had HBCU ties, having once played quarterback at Fayetteville State University before turning to music. Now, Rock seemed to have gravitated once again toward an HBCU athlete—this time someone with a quieter presence.
Born on August 17, 2001, he has as three siblings and his career goal is to be an engineer. The athletic accomplishment he is most proud of is “scoring 41 points at Panola College (2020)” and he lists Allen Iverson as his biggest sports influence “because he was not afraid to be himself”.
His parents are Cece and Michael Newton.
Tytan Newton, also known as “Figgy,” hails from Stockbridge, Georgia, and plays basketball for Morgan State while pursuing a degree in Business Management. He is preparing to graduate in May 2025 with aspirations of becoming an engineer. Although his 2024–2025 season average stood at just 1.4 points per game, he previously made headlines by scoring 41 points during his JUCO stint at Panola College.
Born in Indianapolis, Tytan’s height stands at 6 feet 1 inch and he plays as a shooting guard.
