JACKSON, Mississippi -- One of the main reasons Jackson State’s hire of Tony Hughes has gained so much praise is because of the expected boost Hughes will bring to the Tigers’ recruiting efforts.
While Hughes will have the next few weeks to try to identify players he wants to bring in to help build his program, The Clarion-Ledger decided to take a look at what he’s inheriting at JSU, which has posted a combined record of 8-15 the past two seasons.
Offense
At quarterback, LaMontiez Ivy, who has been the primary starter the past two seasons, is slated to return.. Ivy posted big numbers throughout the first half of season, but suffered a high-ankle sprain against Alabama A&M and wasn’t completely himself the rest of the season.
Ivy finished with 2,199 yards and 15 touchdown passes to eight interceptions and was sidelined for the final two games when he aggravated ankle injury against Alabama State. Jarin Morikawa started four games in Ivy’s place. True freshman Jordan Williams also received some action.
