SENATOBIA - College football season is already flying by for many fans, as we now enter Week 4 of the 2024 season.

With some teams now taking advantage of bye weeks, some former Northwest football players will be off from this weekend's action. In all, a total of 43 former Northwest student-athletes will suit up for FBS and FCS programs this weekend, including Thomas Cheatham, a former Northwest baseball player that has made the roster for the Mississippi State football program.

Like last week, some games will feature former Rangers playing against each other. Two of those contests will occur on Saturday evening, when Ja'Marlin Green and Arkansas-Pine Bluff hosts Central Arkansas, a program that features three former Northwest players. The other game is McNeese against Alcorn State, which will see Cowboys' offensive lineman David Duvall lining up against a Braves' defense that includes defensive back Napoleon Collier.
