JSU signs 10 players recruiting class during early signing period

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Coach Tony Hughes and his staff have received their final LOI of the day from Hinds receiver Ra'Meik Wallace. That gives JSU 10 players that will help meet the team's immediate needs, and they will all be here for spring camp.

That's going to do it for today, and just in the nick of time - Hughes has some Christmas shopping to do.

12:03 p.m.: JSU coaches are still waiting on a fax from Hinds WR Ra'meik Wallace. Counting him, JSU will have signed 10 players today, leaving the coaching staff room to sign 19 high school seniors during the regular signing period in February.

11:22 a.m. - JSU has received a letter of intent from Qendarrion Barnett (LB), the transfer from the University of Idaho.

10:36 a.m. - Didravious Henry (DL) from Co-Lin and East Mississippi's Jauan Collins (DL) are on board. Collins is a surprise. He originally signed with Southern Miss out of Pascagoula High in 2016, red-shirted and then transferred to EMCC. He's got great size for a tackle at 6-1, 300 pounds.

10:05 a.m. - The two other juco recruits we expect Jackson State to sign today are Ra'Meik Wallace (WR) from Hinds and Didarius Henry (DL) from Co-Lin. The university has yet to announce they've received a letter of intent from either. Wallace got an 11th-hour offer from Alcorn State, but according to his Twitter, he's still a Tiger.
