T.C. Taylor to replace Deion Sanders as head coach of the JSU Tigers
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - T.C. Taylor has been named as Deion Sanders’ successor at Jackson State University.
Taylor has been with the school since 2019 as the wide-receiver coach, and was Sanders’ pick to replace him after he accepted the head coaching position at the University of Colorado.
Taylor was once a receiver at Jackson State University, and came back to help coach the team after coaching at North Carolina Central.
Taylor is a McComb, Mississippi native, and played at JSU from the years 1998-2001.
He also graduated from the school with a bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation.
In his 3-year tenure in the capital city, Coach Prime had an overall record of 27-5 and led the Jackson State Tigers to their first undefeated season in school history.
