College career
Hervey attended Compton High School before moving on to Pasadena City College, where he played as a quarterback. He became a starter in 1992, registering 919 passing yards and 791 rushing yards, on his way to a 10-1 record.
He transferred to the University of Southern California and was converted to wide receiver. He was named a starter as a junior, but recorded only 22 receptions for 219 yards, after suffering a sprained left ankle that forced him to miss two games and would slow him the rest of the season. As a senior, he suffered a strained knee in the opening game of the season and would only play in 8 games, finishing his college career with 41 receptions for 482 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Although he was an All-American in the 200 meters in track and field and was considered the Trojans' fastest player, his play was limited because of injuries. He was also overshadowed by All-Americans Johnnie Morton and Keyshawn Johnson.

He was signed by the Oakland Raiders and waived on August 26, 1998.
Edmonton Eskimos

Over the course of his career Hervey put up 6715 yards receiving with 476 receptions in 118 career CFL games. His best season stats-wise came in 2001 when he put up 1447 yards on 77 catches with 12 touchdowns. He also was a part of two Grey Cup winning teams. In 2006, he received the David Boone Memorial Award in recognition for his contributions to the community.
Front office career

In 2015, the Eskimos won the Grey Cup. On April 7, 2017 the Eskimos held a press conference to announce the termination of Hervey's contract.
