Great to see this reported! I saw Diddy in an interview on a sports show where he expressed his admiration for his son pursuing his passion for football despite the fact that he was not always there to encourage him along given his hectic schedule. Still, despite any negative media concerning Diddy one can glean that he truly loves all of his children and is a good father. I'm happy to learn that Justin received a scholarship as it attests to both his scholastic and athletic abilities. And no one knows which colleges Diddy does or does not contribute funds to--perhaps he donates significant dollars to HBCUs so I see nothing wrong with his family accepting a scholarship for their son. And perhaps Diddy will pay for the college tuition and donate the scholarship to someone less fortunate (we just may not know about it). Regarding Justin's size--there was a short basketball player (can't remember his name) and everyone discounted him and he went on to become a successful player in the NBA. So don't sleep on Justin because of his smaller stature. But most importantly, wish for him to receive an enriching education. Hats off to Misa Hylton and Diddy for raising what appears to be a great example of a fine (motivated, working hard to achiever goals) young black man!

i'm still a a tad bit pissy about his beyonce pregnancy twitter statement...lol. but good look justin.

Here's what ESPN has to say. Sounds like he'll be a decent role player. Yeah, it's unusual to offer a role player a full ride but you do the math: A $100,000 investment to get back potentially several million from Puffy and other hangers-on is a good ROI (return on investment). ESPN Analyst Updated 11/02/2011 Combs is a very quick, disciplined and reactive defender against the run and pass. Has minimal size and very good athleticism for the corner position at the major level of competition; a growth spurt with added body mass would be beneficial provided foot quickness and playing speed are not compromised. This guy is a tough customer who plays with good balance and explosion when tackling; should be productive as a special team's coverage defender. We like his flexibility and agility; demonstrates the ability to make tight turns and mirror receivers when in zone or man coverage. Displays quick feet in his back pedal along with the ability to flip his hips smoothly; is disciplined in zone coverage showing good route awareness; is able to keep a good relationship when confronted with two receivers in his area. There is very little wasted motion when planting and breaking up on underneath throws, flashing a good closing burst to the ball; his quick break and secure tackling skills limit underneath catches to minimal yardage. Displays good toughness defending the run, using his hands effectively to ward off blockers and maintain leverage off the edge; isn't intimidated by size and is very willing to mix it up with blockers on the corner. Combs does not appear to be an immediate starter at the BCS level of play. However if a red shirt year isn't deemed necessary, early situational defensive playing time is not out of the question.

Congrats, that's a good look.... do your thing Justin

I stated this in response to a comment further down, but I decided to post it again. For all those who THINK this is well-deserved, consider this - How many 5'9" 165 lb cornerbacks (his CURRENT STATS & position) to you think UCLA offered a similar scholarship to in the past decade? Try none! The kid is unranked in MaxPreps for God's sake, and the top 25 cornerbacks in the country have an average height of 6 feet, with only ONE of the top 25 from the class of 2012 being Justin's size (and he's ranked near the bottom & NO he didn't get a full ride to UCLA). BE SMART - it's a heck of a deal for a school surrounded by Hollywood, and many stalkers will attend every game that kid is in to catch a glimpse of Puff, or whatever celebs he drags with him. Ask Morehouse how much their attendance went up every year John David Washington played with them, or UCF how much play they get now that the Jordan brothers are there with MJ in the stands...heck, even Romeo Miller attracted some attention at USC (2 years and only 5 points later - he was GONE). I want Justin to get that diploma, b/c unfortunately, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

A young black man gets a full scholarship to play football at UCLA!!! You'd think that everyone commenting on a site called "young, black and fabulous" would be celebrating this young man's achievements.... but NO, people are tearing him and his family down. This is nothing short of RIDICULOUS and EMBARRASSING. It's s if people would be more satisfied if the story was about Justin being locked up for drug abuse... It's called self loating. Too many black people on this site hate themselves so much that they can't stand to see another black person succeed. These people need God and therapy. Leave the young man alone and work on improving your own life.

His mom and grandmother look stupid as hell with that blonde hair.

I can't believe how many brained washed sheep are on this site. You sound like the fool repug rednecks who believe ppl like Romney deserve to keep all that money while the rest of us pick up their slack. It's great that the mom used Puff's resources to secure the boy a solid secondary education. However, you Puff's fans should be raising hell on his websites, etc demanding that he put the value of that scholarship in rotation in the black community! I am not a fan of that vampire but I will be blowing up his Ciroc site and other product site with my $0.02. FYI, I am a successful engineer thanks to full ride scholarships for my BS and MS!!!! Wake up people!

Best Wishes to His Son. Any father that spends quality time and take care of his children. I must commend him.

Wish Mama and Grandma didn't have that blonde weave in their heads, but other than that loves it.

Congratulation to MISA justin mon that boy grow up see his mother and father working every day and he follow their foot step hard work pay off not like Kim Porter no career no job her son let school party 4 time a week in LA.

Congrats to Justin and the whole Diddy family. Thats a major accomplishment. Rich kids get scholarships all the time people only talking because it's Diddys kid. Dont hate celebrate.

Those two really look embarrassing! You just cant take the hood out of some people!

That's wonderful.. but Justin your daddy is a DOG!
