JACKSON, Mississippi -- When Hector Stanback verbally comitted to Jackson State last October, it wasn’t based solely on the fact that the Tigers had just come off a SWAC Championship game appearance.
As is usually the case, there were many factors for the linebacker from Martin Luther King High in Lithonia, Ga.
Along with feeling comfortable with the coaching staff, Stanback pointed to the school’s criminal justice program as a major selling point. Stanback, who laughed as he recalled playing “cops and robbers” as a kid, has hopes of one day following in the footsteps of an uncle and becoming an FBI agent.
He thinks JSU could help make that dream a reality.
“A lot of alums that came from Jackson State are FBI agents,” Stanback said. “I just think I could make a difference.”
JSU thinks Stanback can be a difference maker on the field as well. At 6-foot, 200 pounds, Stanback is listed as a two-star athlete by Rivals.com.
