SENATOBIA - College football season is now in full swing and so the tradition continues of having Northwest well-represented on the national stage.

In all, a total of 44 former Northwest football student-athletes will suit up for FBS and FCS programs to kick off the season. That number includes numerous standouts from last year's MACCC Championship roster, including NJCAA All-Americans Jakheem Shumpert (Mississippi State), D.J. Burgess (Charlotte) and other notable names such as LaParka Langston (UCF), Tyeland Coleman (Florida State) and Keshawn Davila (Arkansas).

With the transfer portal now a common part of the college football landscape, several Northwest alums have found new homes. Some of the most notable Rangers on the move include Sam Brumfield to Memphis, Jykeveous "Red" Hibbler to Mississippi State and D.T. Sheffield to Rutgers.
