Deion Sanders had numerous goals when, in 2020, he accepted the job as head coach at Jackson State, an historical black college in Mississippi.
One was to restore the Tigers program, whose illustrious history includes four Pro Football Hall of Famers (Lem Barney, Walter Payton, Robert Brazile and Jackie Slater).
Well, JSU is 9-0, boasts numerous highly ranked recruits and is averaging over 42,000 fans a game.
Another goal was to bring attention not just to JSU but all of HBCU football and HBCU schools in general.
From ESPN broadcasts to "60 Minutes" appearances to the daily power of having a promoter such as Sanders involved, that too has been accomplished.
