Shedeur Sanders looks the exact same as he did at Jackson State the last two years- REALLY GOOD. All the same skills are there, from arm talent to decision making
It’s crazy it took a transfer from an HBCU to Colorado for him to start landing on draft boards, let alone No. 3 QB
NEWS: Mel Kiper Jr. has moved Colorado's Shedeur Sanders to his No. 3 QB in the 2024 NFL Draft👀
“Shedeur Sanders to me right now is a guaranteed, high first-round pick.”
Kiper Jr. also said Shedeur would be the 'guaranteed' No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft if he chose to stay with
As Ed Reed addressed his Bethune-Cookman players and recruits telling them he would no longer be the head coach, former Jackson State and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders consoled his fellow NFL Hall of Famer during an emotional moment

Whether it's at an FCS HBCU or the Power 5 level, he's started the season with a bang🔥
Wait, so North Carolina A&T lost its track and field coach in May, men’s basketball coach in August, and football coach in December????
Something is going on in Greensboro
Shelomi Sanders, the daughter of Deion Sanders, has committed to Alabama A&M. She returns back to the SWAC out of the transfer portal.
Her women's college basketball career has gone from:
Jackson State ➡️ Colorado ➡️ Alabama A&M

I asked C.J. Stroud about what it has meant for him to wear the No. 7, and the legacy of the late Dwayne Haskins Jr. 🕊️
Definitely was the hardest question I’ve asked from a personal standpoint

he said he’d been on his grind and it showed at the HBCU Combine today 📈📈
Excited to see how he performs in the

Until then check out my interview with the Bowie State QB below⬇️
My grandma is a North Carolina Central grad and in the first Celebration Bowl since she passed, NCCU won. She’s the main reason I’m a journalist today and I know she would’ve loved to watch my postgame interview with NCCU players. I know she’s looking down and proud of me❤️🙏🏾
Jackson State just picked up a BIG-TIME transfer in RB Sy’Veon Wilkerson. Wilkerson was arguably the best RB in the MEAC last year for DSU and spent the spring at WVU. He’ll provide a boost to an already explosive Tiger’s offense.
Fourth Quarter. Fourth Down. Listen to how loud it is for Montana State’s offense trying to get into the end zone by South Dakota State’s student section that led to ANOTHER FALSE START

As a former football player (I’m sure others who play/played relate), the crazy thing about the Damar Hamlin situation is that it’s not after a big hit, targeting or anything like that.
It was a routine tackle. A play that we’ve all made. Yet, CPR was needed
That’s what’s scary
Life is so short man. In less than 20 days, we've lost two from the Class of 2016 in Dwayne Haskins & Sam Bruce💔 They were great people on and off the field.
Extremely talented too. Both played on the same team at the 2015

A lot of people going back to normal but its still unreal. My brother and friend Dwayne Haskins. A husband, a brother, a son that was loved by all. Way more that just a “football player”, he touched lives for the better. A man of faith, a man who loved his family. Love you bro
Jackson State's defensive line is getting zero push. North Carolina Central had the best offensive line in HBCU football this year and they are dominating the line of scrimmage to the tune of 8.33 yards per carry

I actually was one of the commentators for Bishop Sycamore’s game they played on Friday. It appeared as if they rested their players who started the entire second half. Very odd at the time to say the least. Even more unusual now

He now has 6 kickoff returns for touchdowns in his career, moving to No. 2 in FCS history. The career record is 7.
