Deion Sanders has his Jackson State football team 4–0 through its first four weeks of the 2022 college football season. A year ago, JSU won three of its first four games as the Tigers suffered a close, late-game loss to Louisiana-Monroe on the road.
But all through the offseason, Sanders preached dominance and how this year’s JSU team would look drastically different. So far, Sanders’s statement is accurate. One key reason behind JSU’s success is the play and production of his son in Tigers’ quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Following JSU’s 49–7 beatdown against in-state rival Mississippi Valley, Sanders told reporters Monday during the SWAC’s coaches’ conference call that Shedeur should be “mentioned” in the race for college football’s Heisman Trophy award.
