Meet Jackson State football recruiting 2024 class: See the Tigers signees
Jackson State football had a party Wednesday evening of national signing day to celebrate and introduce its Class of 2024. The Tigers added four more players to its class of 25 recruits.
JSU coach T.C. Taylor shored up areas of need in the defensive backfield as well as the offensive and defensive lines, and added four receivers to go along with incumbent receivers Fabian McCray and Rico Powers.
Like most programs around the country, JSU did their recruiting work early, signing 21 high school and junior college prospects to national letters of intent during the early signing period in December.
Still, the traditional signing day in February offers an opportunity to address needs late in the cycle.
