JACKSON, Mississippi -- The fax machine is still warm in the Jackson State football office.
One of the letters of intent it hopes to come through is Robert Johnson IV, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound running back from Terry. JSU signed 12 players on Wednesday, totaling 17 who make up the 2014 class so far.
The Tigers are losing starter Tommy Gooden, who was 81 yards shy of breaching the 1,000-yard rushing mark last season. They are returning Rakeem Sims, who exploded in the scene in 2012 but had a quiet 2013 season. And former Terry star Jarius Moore is expected to handle some carries next season.
Moore and Terry linebacker Jonathan Burnett, a Jackson State signee, may give the Tigers some edge for Johnson, who had visits with West Point and the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
