Alcorn State QB Vaughn Showing Growth and Potential in Passing Game

The Alcorn State Braves showcased an impressive offensive performance in their recent game against the Golden Lions, with quarterback Vaughn leading the charge. Vaughn, who has been steadily improving since being named the starter, displayed a mix of short-yardage completions and explosive downfield plays, while also relying on a strong rushing attack that amassed 311 yards against the opposing defense.

Head coach Cedric Thomas praised Vaughn’s growth and comfort level within the offense, noting that the team has fully embraced him as their leader. Vaughn’s recent performances have been a testament to his development, as he has thrown for over 200 yards in three of his last four games, including a standout performance against Edward Waters where he accounted for four touchdowns.

Despite a tough loss to McNeese State, Vaughn’s dual-threat ability has impressed both his coach and teammates, leading to a decision to stick with him as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Thomas emphasized the importance of Vaughn’s continued development as a passer, highlighting the guidance he receives from offensive coordinator Jermaine Gales.

As the Braves look ahead to the rest of the season, Vaughn’s progression will be crucial to their success. With his dynamic playmaking ability and growing confidence in the pocket, Alcorn State is poised to make a strong push in the SWAC conference under Vaughn’s leadership.
