Ole Miss football made a historic announcement regarding its future schedule on Thursday.
For the first time in program history, Ole Miss will host Alcorn State on Sept. 9, 2028. It will be the first-ever historically black college and university (HBCU) and current Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) opponent that Ole Miss has faced on the football field.
“This is a matchup that we’ve been working on for quite some time, and I want to thank Alcorn State A.D. Derek Horne, a good friend and great Rebel, for helping make this happen,” said Ole Miss vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics Keith Carter.
