Moncrief turns tiny Miss. town into tourist attraction

Moncrief turns tiny Miss. town into tourist attraction

In the last United States census, conducted 10 years ago, Raleigh, Miss., had 1,255 residents.

Raleigh, some 42 miles southeast of Jackson, isn’t exactly a tourist’s haven. Yet visitors flocked there this spring, and they weren’t there to see the Smith County Courthouse.

Instead, college coaches from across the country came to see Raleigh wide receiver Donte Moncrief, who is quickly making quite a name for himself as one of the Southeast’s fastest-rising prospects.
