Myers’ Journey From Quarterback to Board Member
Myers was chosen for the Citadel Board of Visitors because he went to Citadel and was the regular quarterback for the Bulldogs for four years. He was also on the board of directors for the Lexington Medical Center and started the Swansea Mentoring Program.
Stanley was happy to host the Town of Swansea’s Bike Bonanza every Christmas. In the year 2022, Myers opened Countryside BBQ in Swansea. He was a Lieutenant Colonel who worked at McEntire Joint National Guard Base as the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) for the 59th Troop Command.
Stanley got a degree in Political Science from the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. In 2014, he went back to his old school to serve on the Board of Visitors. In 2020, he was re-elected for a second term. We will miss his guidance, wisdom and dedication to our organization very much.
Stanley was born in Swansea and he helped The Citadel and the state of South Carolina in many ways. He had a successful career as a lawyer and as a Lieutenant Colonel in the South Carolina National Guard. Stanley was the first African-American military judge in South Carolina’s history.
Last year, he also joined the American College of Trial Lawyers which is the most prestigious group of lawyers in the country. Stanley wore number 16 for the Bulldogs when he was in the Corps of Cadets.
He finished his sports career at The Citadel by starting as quarterback in 43 of the 44 games he played in. He is the only Citadel player to ever throw for more than 3,000 yards and run for more than 2,000 yards.
