The Jackson State football team reported to campus Saturday with 95 players expected to check in. All but a handful had been accounted for by 3 p.m. Of the 26 players signed on National Signing Day in February, 21 are set to play in good academic standing. Defensive end Avon Waters, offensive lineman Ivory Waters and offensive lineman Etienne Odino did not clear NCAA guidelines and will not be with the team.
Safety Antonio Wardlow and cornerback Ricardo Kemp, Tennessee transfers who committed after signing day, also did not qualify academically. Jackson State is still awaiting final word on quarterback Dominick Britt and offensive lineman Luis McLeoud from the NCAA Clearinghouse. Both Britt and McLeoud checked in on Saturday.
