In this article, Alanis Thames of New York times explained how Jackson State landed the number one recruit in the next years recruiting class. Travis Hunter decided to decommit from Florida State, a division 1 school, to go to Jackson State, a historically black college. He made his announcement live and everyone has gone crazy over the decision. Hunter says this change will “light the way for others to follow.” Deion Sanders, a former NFl star, is the head coach for Jackson State and this adds to his top ranked defense from last year. 

Here Alanis Thames was trying to speak to college football fans and players and how this decision from Tarvis Hunter changes the way of college football. She explains a lot about how this is the biggest flip in college football ever and how it could change how recruits choose where to go. I think she does a good job explaining the whole process he went through and how the public reacted. 

I believe this is news for college football fans and players. This is a big move for a top recruit to make and it could change future athletes’ decisions. It’ll be interesting to see for sure. I think the author does a good job with this article.
