First-year Jackson State football coach T.C. Taylor took over the Tigers’ program when former coach Deion Sanders left to coach at Colorado after the 2022 season.
“Everybody’s been asking me, ‘Are you ready?’” Taylor said. “I’m like, ‘Just put the ball down. We’ll show you what we’re talking about.’”
“ boys have been riding high for the past two seasons,” said Rattlers receiver Marcus Riley, who returned the game’s opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. “They’ve been the Alabama of the HBCUs. We had to calm them down a little bit.” The result was unprecedented national attention for historically Black schools as more celebrities donated their money and resources, and top recruits, like Hunter, signed with HBCUs.
“In some cases, some people may have seen him slightly bigger than the program or even bigger than the conference,” said Dr. J Kenyatta Cavil, a professor at Texas Southern who focuses on HBCU athletics. “He sought out the limelight. It wasn’t just for him, but to spread the light across Jackson State — I would say even the SWAC and HBCUs. But for some people, they’re not used to that and may live a more quaint lifestyle. For some people, that can get a little unnerving.
