JACKSON, Miss. - The Jackson State football program hit the jackpot Wednesday and the Tigers were the talk of college football. JSU head coach Deion Sanders and his staff assembled the best class in the history of HBCU football, the top-ranked class at the FCS level, the top-ranked class in the SWAC, and a top 40 class in the FBS (247Sports and ESPN rankings). The Tigers look to add two to four recruits on February 3, 2021, when programs finalize their recruiting classes.

Like many expected, Deion Sanders has already made a massive impact on recruiting at Jackson State.
Sanders was hired on Sep. 21 as the new head coach for the Southwestern Athletic Conference HBCU. Since then, the NFL Hall of Famer has already landed some huge recruits and transfers for the Tigers’ program.
The first significant recruitment news came when “Showtime’s” son, four-star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, committed to Jackson State after flipping from Florida Atlantic.
