The Dickinson System rated Tuskegee as the No. 3 black college football team for 1946, behind No. 1 Tennessee A&I and No. 2 Morgan State.[2]
Two Tuskegee players were selected as first-team player on The Pittsburgh Courier's 1946 All-America team: freshman guard Herman Mabrie from Tulsa, Oklahoma; and junior back Whitney Van Cleve from Kokomo, Indiana. Two other were named to the second team: center Simmons and quarterback Robert Moore.[3]
The team played home games at the Alumni Bowl in Tuskegee, Alabama.
