In a heartbreaking turn of events, Mississippi Valley State University’s football team lost one of its own on Friday night. Ryan Quinney, a 20-year-old junior linebacker, was killed in a car crash while the vehicle he was in allegedly attempted to flee from police. The tragedy unfolded just hours before the Delta Devils were set to face Jackson State University, casting a shadow over the weekend’s game and leaving the MVSU community in mourning.

There’s something magical about winning a Homecoming game, and Florida A&M delivered that magic Saturday at Bragg Memorial Stadium. The Rattlers put on a show, steamrolling Texas Southern 52-28 and keeping their dreams of a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) title very much alive.

The Black College Football Hall of Fame (BCFHOF) has officially announced the first two players to earn a coveted spot in the 2025 Allstate HBCU Legacy Bowl. Among the honorees are Grambling State University’s standout quarterback Myles Crawley and Virginia Union University’s star running back Jada Byers, both set to showcase their talents in the highly anticipated postseason all-star game.

Florida A&M University (FAMU) suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday, falling to the University of Miami Hurricanes, 56-9, in a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) versus Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) matchup at Hard Rock Stadium. Under the leadership of head coach Colziee II, the Rattlers now sit at 2-1. Known for his defensive background, Coach Colziee would have hoped for a more competitive showing, especially on defense, against a strong ACC contender.

Coming into tonight’s game, the topic of discussion was whether the Rattlers could continue their current winning streak at Bragg Memorial. The running statement is that they do not lose at Bragg, and even though they consider every stadium "Bragg," everyone knows that protecting the home field is the main objective.

MEAC/SWAC Kickoff Challenge hosted at Centre Parc Stadium in Atlanta, GA kicked off at 7:43 pm. The time was now to prove who would take home the trophy at the end of the night. Both teams with much to prove came out ready to go- it was Florida A&M against Norfolk State.

These selections underscore the exceptional talent within the SWAC, recognizing outstanding performances and contributions across various positions. As the HBCU sports community eagerly awaits the awards ceremony, the list stands as a testament to the remarkable skill and dedication displayed throughout the season.

The Chicago Classic has to depend its legacy and organization based off uncontrollable errors and based off logistically mistakes that could have been prevented had the university's coaching staff and athletic Director had been on top of things and properly communicated instead of bashing them days after they lose the game to Central State University.
