"I went the JUCO route and that Genesee Community College school gave me a good two years of exposure and ability to show everybody what I could do," Fobbs says.
Fobbs averaged over 26 points and nearly 13 rebounds per a game for the Cougars his sophomore year. That led to a scholarship offer from Towson University, where he led the Tigers in scoring during his junior and senior seasons.
"I wanted to come into Towson aggressive and playing me, playing like I know how to play all my life, and that's just scoring the basketball and being aggressive. I've always strived to do that every time I've played, Towson gave me the opportunity to play that way and I was able to be successful out of it," he says.
Fobbs leaves Towson with a degree in communications.
"I wanted to graduate as well, that's a big priority of mine, graduating. That's big for me and my family, so it was good to stay another year just to get my degree," he explains.
Now, he's joining a large group of former Section V players setting their sights on a pro basketball career.
"It's crazy what we have and what type of talent we have with Quinton Rose and Isaiah Stewart coming in and Nahziah Carter and Anthony Lamb, it's just these guys and Rian Carter coming up, these guys are phenomenal and it's just exciting, it really is," Fobbs says.
Fobbs is hoping for a free agent opportunity with an NBA or G-League team next season.
