Alcorn State Set to Soar in 2026 Season

Alcorn State Set to Soar in 2026 Season
Posted By: Will Moss on February 04, 2026

Alcorn State University, one of the premier Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the nation, is poised for an exciting 2026 season. With a strong roster, talented coaching staff, and dedicated fans, the Braves are expected to make a significant impact on the field.

Alcorn State, located in Lorman, Mississippi, has a rich history of athletic excellence, particularly in football. The university has produced numerous NFL players and has consistently been a powerhouse in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). As the 2026 season approaches, the Braves are gearing up to continue their tradition of success.

According to the team's preliminary schedule, Alcorn State is set to face off against some formidable opponents. Highlights include a highly anticipated matchup against fellow SWAC rival, Jackson State University, as well as non-conference games against the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Key Takeaway: Alcorn State's 2026 season promises to be a thrilling one, with the Braves poised to make a strong statement on the field and represent the HBCU community with pride.

The Braves' coaching staff, led by the experienced and respected Fred McNair, is confident in their ability to guide the team to victory.



McNair, who has been at the helm of the Alcorn State program for several years, has a proven track record of developing talented players and instilling a winning mentality.

Fans of Alcorn State and the HBCU community as a whole can look forward to a season filled with exciting matchups, standout performances, and the continued legacy of excellence that the Braves have come to represent.

"Alcorn State has always been a source of pride for the HBCU community, and their 2026 season will be no exception. The Braves have the talent, coaching, and determination to make a deep run and showcase the incredible athletic prowess of HBCUs nationwide."

As the 2026 season approaches, the HBCU community can expect Alcorn State to be a force to be reckoned with, as the Braves continue to inspire and captivate audiences with their exceptional play on the field.
