Alabama State University, located in Montgomery, Alabama, is a historically black university with a rich athletic tradition. The Hornets football team competes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), one of the premier HBCU athletic conferences in the country. Head coach Eddie Robinson Jr. expressed his excitement about Body's return, stating, "Andrew is a special talent, and we're thrilled to have him back leading our offense. His experience and playmaking ability will be invaluable as we work to build on our success from last season." The Hornets are coming off a strong 2022 campaign, where they finished with a record of 7-4 and earned a berth in the Celebration Bowl, the annual championship game between the MEAC and SWAC conference champions. With Body back in the fold, the Hornets will be poised to make another run at the SWAC title and a spot in the prestigious Celebration Bowl.
