Year after year, historic black colleges have fallen short of attracting five and four-star talent. That has changed ladies and gentlemen, as the country's top football recruit Travis Hunter signed with Jackson State University. Yes, Jackson State University. This is a huge win for HBCUs all over the world because the narrative is changing. Powerhouse colleges have always had an advantage over HBCUs due to their faculties and a history of past athletes making it to the next level. However, over the last two years, athletes have discovered that with dedication and hard work, they can advance to the next level regardless of which university they attend.
Everyone expected Travis Hunter to sign with Florida State or another powerhouse school that would love to have his talents for the next three to four years. But, similar to a Floyd Mayweather counterpunch, Travis' decision caught everyone off guard. There is no doubt that Coach Prime and Jackson State University are preparing not only for the upcoming season, but also for the future. Don't be alarmed; HBCUs are on the rise and making moves to maintain their dominance indefinitely. The moment has arrived, and HBCUs are more than prepared.
