With the support of nearly a dozen corporate sponsors, high-level recruiting and the new wave of name, image and likeness opportunities, the SWAC’s stock continues to rise
Sanders has not only elevated his program with strong recruiting, but he has also leveraged partnerships with brands like Aflac, Walmart and Proctor & Gamble. He also aided his program’s biggest rival, Alcorn, in hiring athletic trainers, and assisted MVSU with a new practice field. Those things help pave the way for athletes, from strong performances in postseason bowl games, participation in the NFL Combine and elevating the stock of the HBCU Combine and HBCU Legacy Bowl.
Jackson State returns five preseason All-SWAC players. Malachi Wideman and Trevonte Rucker fit into an immensely talented wide receiver corps in an offensive unit that finished fourth in scoring offense. Defensively, JSU’s hard-hitting linebackers, Aubrey Miller and Nyles Gaddy, defensive lineman Devonta Davis and safeties Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig and John Huggins, anchor a relentless unit that finished atop the SWAC and second in the FCS in total defense in ‘21.
Simmons, an offensive mastermind, has weapons on both sides of the ball. Receivers Smith, David Manigo and Jah’Marae Sheread return, while Vanderbilt graduate transfer quarterback Jeremy Moussa recently earned the starting job over ’21 starter Resean McKay. Defensively, the Rattlers are loaded in a system that features defensive back BJ Bohler, Javan Morgan and Isaiah Land, the reigning Buck Buchanan Award winner and ’22 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year.
