BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- February 5th, 2014 marks National Signing Day and the Jaguar Nation is encouraged to come celebrate the next generation of Jaguars with Head Coach Dawson Odums and staff.

The Blue & Gold Century Club and the S.U Quarterback Club will host the Southern University Annual Football Recruiting Celebration in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom in the Smith-Brown Memorial Union on the Baton Rouge campus.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the program is set to start at 7 p.m. After the unveiling of the 2014 recruiting class, fans are welcomed to meet and greet with Head Coach Dawson Odums and enjoy a light meal.

Donations of $20 are welcomed and to reserve a table for 10 is $300.  Tickets may be purchased from any club member of the Blue and Gold Century Club and S.U. Quarterback Club.

The Jaguars are coming off an exceptional 2013 season.

After demolishing long time rival Grambling State University in the 40th annual Bayou Classic 40-17, the Jaguars traveled to Houston and defeated the Jackson State Tigers 34-27 in a down-to-the-wire, double overtime matchup for the 2014 SWAC Championship.

The Jaguars, in their first full season under Odums, finished 7-2 in conference and held an overall record of 9-4.

There will be a viewing of both, the Bayou Classic and the Toyota SWAC Championship trophies at the celebration and fans will be allowed to take pictures.
