Darius Conley Email & Phone Number

Born and raised in the East St. Louis area, Darius went to Cahokia High School and graduated in 2008. After high school, he attended Southwestern Illinois College and graduated with an Associate in Arts. During his time at SWIC, he studied Business and Arts. After graduating from SWIC, Darius went to Colorado State University and finished his Bachelors degree in Information Technology, which focused primarily on computer software. He started working as a computer technician at many different companies fixing computers and computer networks. While working, he finished his Masters degree in Information Security Management at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. As a young black man in the workforce, Darius dealt with many discriminatory situations which motivated him to use his amazing talents and intelligence to run his own company. After moving to Springfield, Illinois in 2019, he decided to go back to school to change his career and finish a second Masters degree in Strategic Brand Communications from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, where he gained further experience from working on Varsity “I” Association’s website as well as social media strategy. Darius also has a Harvard education in Facebook Digital Marketing and a Film & Video certification from Full Sail University. When his son started playing high school football, Darius knew that his son needed more than just an online profile on another recruiting site where he would get lost in a pool of thousands of other young athletes fighting for the same spot. He needed a way to CONNECT with college coaches INDIVIDUALLY. Now Darius runs his own business, BIG BALLIN MEDIA, where he records video highlights for athletes and posts them on social media for college recruiters to connect and follow the student athletes in their journey. This in turn creates important connections with college coaches which allows for scholarships and grants to follow. Darius is more than happy to connect with anyone that needs assistance getting their student athlete noticed by colleges and universities.
