Alcorn State's Preseason All-America Anchor (2016)
Detonio Dade, Alcorn State Braves' standout senior center and 2016 Preseason All-America honoree, earned 2014 All-SWAC first-team nods as a dominant offensive lineman who paved the way for explosive runs, including SWAC leader Cyrus' 1,662 rushing yards; his high school pedigree from Laurel (MS) featured 4.8 tackles per game as a two-way star. Known for elite pass protection and run-blocking intensity, Dade's reliability shines in big games like Alcorn's 35-16 Senior Day rout of JSU—ideal for teams needing a battle-tested, high-motor interior lineman with FCS pedigree.
