The transfer portal is open and Jackson State football is bound to be active.

Tigers coach T.C. Taylor has moved proficiently in selecting the 2023 team. After having to start from scratch when former coach Deion Sanders bolted to Colorado, there was an exodus of players going to Colorado and other schools.

In his first season, Taylor led the Tigers to a 7-4 record (5-3 SWAC) and a big win over Southern.

Taylor seems to have the 2024 starting quarterback in JaCobian Morgan, who transferred from Syracuse last season. Taylor also found running back, Irv Mulligan, who transferred from Wofford College and was leading the SWAC in rushing until the seventh game of the season when an ankle injury sidelined him for three games.

Taylor said it's already different leading into this offseason, because he does not have to assemble a staff, nor recruit a large number of players. This offseason it will be about need.
