Shedeur Sanders, quarterback
Shedeur Sanders came with his father to Jackson State, and he'll leave with him as well. The SWAC Offensive Player of the Year joined his father in Colorado for Sunday's introductory press conference after passing for 3,403 yards and 36 touchdowns in 12 games this season. He also had five rushing TDs.
The sophomore would instantly be in the mix for the Buffaloes starting job after Colorado (1-8) had nine passing TDs this season.
Travis Hunter, defensive back / wide receiver
Deion Sanders won the 2021 SWAC Championship, but landing former five-star recruit Travis Hunter helped show programs across the country how powerful he could be on the recruiting trail.
Hunter was the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2022, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings and Deion Sanders got him to decommit from Florida State to join the Tigers.
The star freshman had 141 receiving yards and two TDs along with 11 tackles and two interceptions in seven games, part of a injury-riddled freshman season. Hunter will have plenty of suitors if he doesn't travel with Deion Sanders to Colorado.

Kevin Coleman Jr., wide receiver
Hunter made most of the headlines in JSU's last recruiting class, but Coleman was a highly rated recruit himself. The four-star recruit was the No. 6 wide receiver nationally.
The SWAC Freshman of the Year had 25 catches for 338 yards and two TDs in 12 games. Coleman received offers from Florida State, Miami, and Oregon among other before committing to the Tigers.
Nyles Gaddy, edge rusher
The All-SWAC first team selection had 40 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks in 12 games. Gaddy, a Tennessee transfer, also had two forced fumbles.
Sy'veon Wilkerson, running back
The West Virginia transfer led the Tigers with 212 carries for 1,100 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games. Wilkerson played a huge role in the Jackson State offense after JSU's 16-3 victory over Tennessee State in the Southern Heritage Classic on Sept. 10.
