While Deion Sanders is leading Jackson State’s football program to new heights, it has not stopped other Power 5 football programs from going after the services of the NFL Hall of Famer.
However, on Tuesday, Jackson city council leaders unanimously approved a resolution to support the construction of a new football stadium for the program, hoping to aid in keeping Sanders with the program and in Jackson, Mississippi for a long time.
Kenneth Stokes, a councilman, believes the Tigers’ coach has brought a lot of positivity and “success” to the program and the city since his arrival in September 2020.
