Prime Time Deion Sanders has added another elite recruit to his Jackson State Tigers.
The former NFL star and Hall of Famer will have wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. in his offensive huddle next season.
The St. Mary’s HS (St. Louis) star announced his decision Saturday at the All-American Bowl and former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant was impressed.
“I see everything he [head coach Deion Sanders] is doing and I want to be a part of it,” Coleman told SI All-American. “Coach Prime, to be coached by a person who has done it before. Why not? He can teach me. He did it on both sides, he did it on special teams and he is a great person with great character.”

It was believed Coleman was considering Oregon, USC, Florida State, and Miami. However, he stunned everyone.
Coleman is the No. 4 WR in the Class of 2022, No. 44 overall.
