New Jackson State coach Deion Sanders has already lured two former SEC players to commitments to his program. Now he might have recruited a third, and didn’t have to go outside of his family.
That connection comes from a report that South Carolina DB Shilo Sanders has entered the transfer portal, according to Matt Zenitz of AL.com.
About two months ago during a media availability, the younger Sanders didn’t reveal much when asked if the new coach has offered him a scholarship yet, except a laugh.
“I’m proud of him, he’s finally being a head coach,” Sanders said. “I played for him, so he’s definitely going to get on your tail if you mess up.”
Sanders made 32 tackles with a pass breakup this past season for the Gamecocks as he played in all but one game. Last season, he appeared in four games as a true freshman, and redshirted. He saw his most action against Charleston Southern, but also appeared briefly against Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. He registered one tackle in the CSU game, and was named to the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll.
The other former SEC players to commit to Coach Prime are former Missouri linebacker Aubrey Miller and Mississippi State cornerback Javorrius Selmon.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
