Report: Wheeler Brown to be JSU's athletic director

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State interim athletic director Wheeler Brown sat down with The Clarion-Ledger last month and explained his desire to remove the interim tag from his label and become the university's permanent athletic director.

It appears he'll get his wish.

Footballscoop.com reported on Thursday morning, per a source, that JSU is "promoting Wheeler Brown from interim AD, to the full-time AD role."

Later Thursday morning, a JSU source was able to confirm that Wheeler would be named full-time athletic director. In recent weeks this has been considered the likely move, according to sources.

"I would definitely like to become the permanent athletic director," Brown said last month. "I don't think you get to this point in your career as an athletic administrator and not strive to be the top administrator in the department. This is by far the best job in the SWAC without a doubt and one of the better AD jobs, I think, in the country."
