He was selected by the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL) in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. A 2006 Pro Bowl choice, June was a member of the Super Bowl XLI champion Colts that defeated the Chicago Bears. During the Super Bowl championship season, June was the Colts’ leading tackler. In addition to his tenure with the Colts, he played in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Before becoming a professional, he played college football at Michigan and was an outstanding athlete in high school football, basketball, track and field and baseball at Anacostia High School in Washington, D.C. As a senior, he was widely regarded to be the best high school football player in the District of Columbia.
At the end of the season, he was a 1997 All-Met selection by The Washington Post and described as both the top DCIAA defensive back and as a running back who scored 18 two-point conversions and returned three kickoffs for touchdowns. He was selected as The Washington Post All-Met Defensive Player of the Year and USA Today District of Columbia Player of the Year and Second-team All-USA.

He was named the only Parade All-American from Metropolitan Washington, and he was selected as a Gatorade player of the year for the District of Columbia. June was also honored by The Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C. June played under coach Willie Stewart who coached Anacostia to seven consecutive appearances in the DCIAA championship game, including three in which June participated and the 1995 victory in which June was MVP.
June played college football at the University of Michigan, where he switched from cornerback to play safety and wear the #2 jersey that had previously been worn by 1997 Heisman Trophy winner, Charles Woodson. As a defensive back at Michigan, June’s head coach, Lloyd Carr, was the former coach for the position. He redshirted as a freshman during the 1998 season for the 1998 Wolverines. During his 1999 season as a redshirt freshmen for the 1999 Wolverines, he intercepted a pass in his second game, which he returned for 29 yards to the 16-yard line. That season, he played all twelve games and started the final four games at free safety. As the season progressed, he became involved in several big plays. He recovered a fumble on October 23 against Illinois. In the following game against Indiana on October 30, he blocked a punt and recovered the football, which led to a touchdown on the following play. He earned his first start on November 6 against Northwestern and sacked the quarterback to take the Wildcats out of field goal range. On November 13 against Penn State, he forced a fumble near midfield, which led to a Michigan scoring drive. Although he had earned a starting position, his pass defense coverage had not yet earned respect. In his best performance of the season, before a record-setting crowd of 111,575 at Michigan Stadium, he recorded a team-high 10 (7 solo) of his 27 tackles in a 24–17 victory in the rivalry game against Ohio State on November 20, 1999. June also recovered a fumble to set up a scoring drive for the final Michigan touchdown. The season ended in an overtime victory against Alabama in the 2000 Orange Bowl.
During the summer before his 2000 season as a redshirt sophomore for the 2000 Wolverines when he was expected to challenge for the starting strong safety position, he suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee that required reconstructive surgery. He spent the season in rehabilitation with two other teammates who had knee injuries and was unable to run for six months. His absence at the safety position caused Fargas to switch from running back to safety that season. Before returning to football, he was involved in a public altercation in spring 2001. During the altercation, a Michigan teammate was identified as having punched someone in the face, and June was charged with failing to obey an officer’s order for refusing to leave the scene.

He received second-team All-conference honors his senior year. By the eve of the DCIAA Championship game held on Thanksgiving Day (November 27, 1997), he had 35 scholarship offers. Before his senior season his dream school for its combination of athletics and academics was the University of North Carolina. He was recruited by top football programs such as Syracuse, and Miami and his early list of top five programs was Michigan, Ohio State, Florida, North Carolina and Penn State.

June was raised in the Great Plains of Oklahoma. As a high school freshman, June attended Muskogee High School in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where he was a veritable “Okie from Muskogee”. According to a Washington Post article, he envisioned himself eventually playing football for either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State. His high school football team had a large following with regular attendance of 8,000. When June was a sophomore, he and Marjani Dele, his mother, moved to the northwest section of Washington, D.C. in 1995. Following the move, she enrolled him in a summer college prep program, where he met Troy Stewart, son of Anacostia head coach Willie Stewart. Troy, an assistant coach at Anacostia, and his father recruited June to Anacostia High School. That season, he played cornerback, wide receiver, and kickoff returner. On Thanksgiving Day, Anacostia won the DCIAA championship game, known as the Turkey Bowl, by a 40–31 score over Dunbar High School. In the game, June intercepted a pass late in the first half and returned it 92 yards for a touchdown to enable his team to take an 8–7 lead. That season, he earned a selection to The Washington Post’ s 1995 All-Met Football team as a defensive back. The following spring, he played shortstop and pitcher for the school baseball team.
Prior to winning the city championship, Anacostia had played football on a barren field that was described by The Washington Post as “rugged prairie known by players across the city as the ‘dust bowl'”. In 1996, Mayor of Washington, D.C., Marion Barry, helped the team acquire new topsoil and 500 rolls of Brute Bermuda sod worth about $60,000 ($97,810 today). As a junior, June, who wore #1, rushed for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns in the DCIAA semi-final game. In the championship game, June fumbled on the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, leaving the door open for Cardozo Senior High School to score a touchdown in the waning seconds to secure a victory. During his junior year, he was part of the basketball team that successfully defended the Washington D.C. city high school basketball championship.
He was part of the nation’s number one recruiting class for the undefeated defending national champion Wolverines. The team recruited numerous top 50-rated players on both offense: Justin Fargas, Marquise Walker, David Terrell and Drew Henson, and defense: Victor Hobson, Dave Armstrong, June, Bennie Joppru, and Larry Foote. The All-Met Offensive Player of the Year, Walter Cross, was also a member of this recruiting class. The class included a total of six Parade All-Americans: Fargas, Henson, Walker, Terrell, June and Hayden Epstein. Before matriculating to Michigan he participated in the July 1998 D.C. Coaches Association All-Star game as well as the Baltimore-Washington Beltway Classic. As a high schooler with aspirations of making a mark in the NFL and who kept a Deion Sanders poster in his bedroom, he left his mark by writing “Big Time 1” on things whenever the opportunity arose. June graduated as salutatorian.

June enjoys workouts that consist of boxing.
On April 27, June was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the sixth round (25th pick) of the 2003 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would play weak side linebacker. Colts coach Tony Dungy had had previous success converting college safeties into linebackers. Colts President Bill Polian made the decision to draft him and have him converted. June agreed to a three-year contract on July 23 with the Colts just before the voluntary rookie camp in advance of the full training camp. During the 2003 NFL season, June was one of only two 2003 Colts draft choices not to make a significant contribution. He sat out the first five games and played mostly on special teams the rest of the season. Nonetheless, June, who wore #59 for the Colts, was on the roster for the 2003–04 NFL playoffs.

The 2001 Michigan Wolverines football team lost several key offensive components from the previous season when Anthony Thomas and David Terrell joined the Chicago Bears of the NFL and Drew Henson was drafted by the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. The 2001 team lost a total of nine starters for the 2001 season but returned eight defensive starters, and June was a welcome addition to a lineup. In the second game of the season, June was called for a questionable roughing the passer penalty against Washington that allowed the Huskies to score a field goal to reduce the Wolverines’ lead to 23–12 in the fourth quarter. A few weeks later, he had a career-high two sacks in a 45–20 victory against Illinois on September 29. The following week, on October 6, he had an interception in a shutout of Penn State. June had been starting at free safety, but the Penn State game marked his first start at strong safety because of an injury to Julius Curry. On October 13, he led the team in tackles with seven, including a sack, against Purdue in a game that left the team as the only Big Ten team with an undefeated conference record. In the next game, his fourth quarter interception led to a comeback victory against Iowa to stay unbeaten in conference. In the following game on November 3 against Michigan State, Michigan’s conference record fell to 4–1 as June left the game with another injury to his right knee. June started all but one game and finished the season fourth on the team in tackles.
June’s 2004 season had been described as average, and he was considered likely to lose his starting assignment in a battle with Gardner and Kendyll Pope in 2005. Pope was suspended for the season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. June beat Gardner for the starting position, although some speculate that he won the job due to Gardner’s injury at the end of training camp. June recorded an interception that he ran back for a touchdown in the first game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. On October 9, he recorded two interceptions and ran back one for a touchdown to help Indianapolis reach a 5–0 record with a 28–3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The following week on Monday Night Football, June recorded two more interceptions, one of which changed the momentum of the game because quarterback Marc Bulger was injured trying to chase June. Both interceptions led to touchdowns as the Colts beat the St. Louis Rams 17–0. After six games, June was the NFL leader in interceptions, but he was diagnosed with a sports hernia. June’s fast start prompted talk of him breaking the all-time NFL linebacker single-season interception record of eight and being the first linebacker to lead the league since 1959. In a game that was considered a bad performance by the Colts despite its victorious result, June had a season-high fourteen tackles to help the Colts raise their record to 9–0 in a 31–17 victory over the Houston Texans. June sat out the December 11 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which resulted in the Colts raising their record to 13–0, clinching their third straight AFC South title, a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. There was great speculation about whether June and other injured players would rest up for the 2005–06 NFL playoffs or whether the team would attempt to post the first perfect 16–0 regular season. June was able to play, but the Colts lost their next game on December 18 to fall to 13–1. After being named to the 2006 Pro Bowl during the following week, June was listed as inactive for the 15th game of the season and did not travel with the team to Seattle. He also sat out the final game of the season. After the conclusion of the regular season, June was selected as a first time Pro Bowl starter at linebacker. In the opening round of the playoffs, the Colts forced a fumble by Jerome Bettis that was nearly run back for a winning touchdown in the final minute of play, but Ben Roethlisberger made a game-saving tackle on Nick Harper for the Pittsburgh Steelers’s 21–18 victory. Gary Brackett forced the fumble, although at least one source credited June with the tackle. June also had an interception and four solo tackles in the loss. June was named second-team All-Pro at outside linebacker. Despite missing three games due to injury, June finished third on the team with 109 tackles and led the team with 5 interceptions. He was also the team’s nominee for the Ed Block Courage Award in 2005.

After losing to the New England Patriots in the American Football Conference Championship Game and losing Marcus Washington who joined the Washington Redskins, the Colts shuffled their linebacker lineup and June was listed as a starter when the Colts arrived at mini-camp. At the 2004 Colts training camp, June competed with Keyon Whiteside for the starting weakside linebacker position. By the end of training camp, June was the starter, and 2004 rookie Gilbert Gardner was the backup. June made his debut as a starter in the opening game against the 2004 Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. That season, the Colts used a 4-3 defense with a fourth linebacker on passing downs. In week 5, June had a team-high ten tackles and his first interception in a 35–14 victory over the Oakland Raiders. In week 15, June returned an interception 71 yards to the four-yard-line where he stepped out of bounds with 59 seconds remaining in the game at the RCA Dome, the Colts’ home stadium. This prompted the fans to chant for Peyton Manning to enter the game to attempt to tie Dan Marino’s single-season touchdown pass record. Since the Colts led the game 20–10 and had clinched the AFC South division, Manning took a knee instead. Coach Dungy’s scheme is designed so that the weakside linebacker is supposed to make the most tackles, and June was the Colts’ leading tackler by a wide margin that season. June started every game that season.
