Jackson State has pulled off one of the greatest recruiting accomplishments in college football history.

It’s not an understatement at all to say this is a recruiting accomplishment that would have been impossible to imagine before it happened.

The top-ranked player in America is headed to an FCS school! It’s not like a four or a five star player is headed to the FCS!

He’s the top-ranked player in the country. He could have gone anywhere he wanted. Instead of playing for a traditional power, he’s headed to Jackson State to play for Deion Sanders.

What an absolutely insane time for college football and fans everywhere. Deion Sanders is going to have a squad in 2022 at Jackson State.

Let us know in the comments how you think Hunter will do at JSU!

UPDATE: A previous version of this story included a false report that Hunter received a $1.5 million NIL deal. It has been updated to be more accurate.
