SENATOBIA - Just two weeks remain in the regular season for most FBS and FCS teams, and several Northwest football alums are suiting up for several programs this weekend.
A total of 46 Northwest football student-athletes will suit up for FBS and FCS programs this weekend. Additionally, one former Ranger baseball player, Thomas Cheatham, is a part of the Mississippi State football roster for the 2024 season.
With that in mind, Wednesday begins a busy week, which will feature Northwest alums Tank Pearson and L.J. Shumpert leading Ohio against Toledo on ESPN2, while Khamron Ford and Southeastern Louisiana face Nicholls on ESPN+ Thursday evening.
