Lauria McDuffey brings compact size, fresh legs, and roster value to Alcorn State’s backfield
Lauria McDuffey is a sophomore running back for Alcorn State in the 2026 season, listed at 5'9" and 175-179 pounds, and is active on the roster wearing No. 27.[1][2][3] There isn’t public stat-leader or news coverage showing major production yet, but the profile here is a sturdy, developmental back with enough frame to handle contact and enough room to grow into a bigger role if he sharpens his burst and consistency.[1][2] If a staff wants an under-the-radar, physical depth option rather than a headline-grabber, McDuffey looks like a sensible fit.
