Career
He played briefly in the Continental Basketball Association (College of Business Administration) but is best known for his collegiate career at Southern University between 1986-1987 and 1989-1990. Faulkner scored well over 1,000 career points at Southern and helped guide the Jaguars to three consecutive National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament appearances from 1987 through 1989 and a National Invitation Tournament appearance in 1990. He averaged 16.6 points per game his freshman season but his most lauded season came in his senior year.
That season, despite only qualifying for the National Institute of Technology after three straight National Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament trips, Faulkner led the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in both scoring and rebounding.
