Hughes, JSU making progress with high school recruits

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Now that he has 11 mid-year juco transfers enrolled in classes, JSU coach Tony Hughes and his staff are making a recruiting push for 15 to 20 high school seniors to complete his 2018 recruiting class.

They're off to a solid start, with verbal commitments from six prospects.

In addition to Louisville defensive back Lakevias Daniel (who has been committed for months), Hughes earlier this week received commitments from Starkville wide receiver Cameron Hines, dual-threat quarterback Chapelle Wade from George Washington Carver High School in Birmingham, Mobile (LeFlore) linebacker Timontre Graham and a pair of offensive linemen: Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Central guard Cameron Beal and Natchez tackle
Cedric Dunbar.

Hines is the headliner here. At 6-foot and 185 pounds, he’s shown the ability to create separation that was missing for JSU’s receiving corps for much of last season. He was the third-most productive receiver in the state as a senior, with 70 catches for 913 yards and 12 touchdowns.
