Jackson State dominated Southern to win the program’s third SWAC title in four years. The Tigers earned the program’s fourth Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) national championship, first since 1996, with a victory over South Carolina State in the Celebration Bowl. The Tigers will be loaded once again in 2025 for a repeat.
Unfortunately, we were only able to schedule interviews with Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern, Grambling, and Alabama A&M for this year’s summer magazine, so they are the only programs reflected in the notes.
