Jay Searcy of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote in 1994 that Alcorn had "a gritty football team that has sent 68 players to the National Football League...", an achievement for a small school in a rural area of Mississippi. His article was chiefly about Steve McNair, who is among those numerous players to have gone on to professional football careers.
