This is major for college sports, especially for HBCUs. It shows HBCUs can secure high-profile athletes to lead their programs in hopes of a winning season.
“I believe we can be a pillar of HBCUs,” Sanders said during a press conference after he was introduced as the new coach.
Sanders broke the news Sunday on the debut episode of his Barstool podcast “@21st and Prime.” He described the move to become the next head coach of Jackson State as a “God Move”. He said, “God called me to Jackson State.”
His first Division I football
This will be Sanders first Division 1 head football coaching opportunity.
Regarded as one of the best athletes to ever play, Sanders will lead the Tigers into a 2021 year where they will play two seasons of football-an 8 game Spring schedule and a Fall schedule as well.
