Deion Sanders sent a clear message to the rest of the college football world after bringing another top recruit to Jackson State.
Kevin Coleman Jr., a four-star recruit considered one of the top 10 wide receivers in the 2022 class, announced during Saturday’s All-American Game that he was committing to play for Sanders at Jackson State. Coleman also had interest from blue-blood programs such as Florida State, Miami, Oregon and USC.
Landing Coleman marks another coup for Sanders and Jackson State, who continue to recruit well above their perceived weight. Sanders celebrated the wide receiver’s decision on Twitter, and sent a clear message to those who had questioned the program he is building.
This comes on the heels of Sanders landing the top-rated recruit in the country. There is every indication that Coach Prime will keep trying for top recruits, and he’ll probably keep landing some of them. The attraction goes beyond his fame and reputation, too: it looks like the guy can really coach and win the respect of his players.
