Alcorn State hires new defensive coordinator

ALCORN STATE, Mississippi - Alcorn State has announced the hiring of Tony Pecoraro as its new defensive coordinator under first-year head coach Jay Hopson.

Last season, Pecoraro was the defensive coordinator for Division II North Alabama, where the Lions made a second consecutive NCAA playoff appearance under head coach Terry Bowden.

"This place has a lot of good history," Pecoraro said. "I know it's going to be a challenge, but I think it's going to be a good challenge."

Hopson, who was hired by Alcorn in late May, is the first-ever white head coach in the history of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
