Jaborian “Tip” McKenzie, 18, from Woodville, Miss., who is free on $50,000 bond on five counts of aggravated rape and two counts of sexual battery, played wide receiver and returner for Alcorn State on Saturday. Je'Kel Smith, director of sports information at the college, said the administration was aware of the charges against him when he transferred around the start of the semester.

“It hasn't been a big issue here,” Smith said. “He's in cooperation, he's playing for us now. Until anything else happens further in his case, he's going to be a Brave.”
