Deion Sanders Finishes 1st Year as Jackson State HC 4-3, Season Finale Canceled

Deion Sanders will finish his first season as Jackson State's head football coach with a 4-3 record.

Per Rashad Milligan of the Mississippi Clarion Ledger, the Tigers' final game against Prairie View A&M scheduled for Saturday was canceled because of COVID-19 protocols and contact tracing within Jackson State's program.

This marks the third time during the spring season that Jackson State had a game impacted by COVID-19 protocols.

The Tigers-Panthers game was originally scheduled for March 28 but was postponed for COVID-19 issues within the Prairie View A&M program.
