Alabama State Hornets football, founded in 1901 in Montgomery, Alabama, anchors HBCU gridiron tradition. The Hornets own the 1991 HBCU national championship and SWAC crowns in 1991 and 2004, punctuated by a thrilling 40–35 win over Southern in the 2004 SWAC Championship Game. Names like quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and coach Houston Markham continue to inspire every fall.

Home games at ASU Stadium create a lively scene. The 26,500-seat on-campus venue opened on Thanksgiving 2012 and buzzes with the Mighty Marching Hornets, the Stingettes and a spirited student section. Tailgates stretch along campus before kickoff. Each season builds to the Magic City Classic against Alabama A&M in Birmingham, one of the nation’s largest HBCU gatherings. Whether it is the Turkey Day Classic or a SWAC showdown, Hornet Nation brings energy.
