Freshman WR Malachi Augustus brings big-play juice to Alcorn State
In the 2026 season, Malachi Augustus has flashed early efficiency for Alcorn State with 3 catches for 48 yards, including a 35-yard grab that hints at real downfield upside and a 16.0 yards-per-catch profile[3][5]. The freshman wideout, listed at 6-0 and 190 pounds, arrived with a strong recruiting profile after piling up more than 1,800 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns across his final two high school seasons, though a late-senior-year injury was part of the story[7][12]. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a vertical, space-creating receiver with upside still to grow into.
