There’s speculation across the college football world that Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders will leave Jackson State for Nebraska, but ‘Prime Time’ claims this isn’t the case.
Sanders is in third season with the Tigers, and they’re off to a perfect 9-0 start. So relax, Jackson State fans. Sanders isn’t going to leave the team that has enjoyed a remarkable turnaround under his leadership.

The Cornhuskers fired head coach Scott Frost after the team dropped two of its first three games. Nebraska named assistant coach Mickey Joseph Frost’s replacement for the season. The Cornhuskers are 3-6 heading into Saturday’s game against the heavily-favored Michigan Wolverines.
After a 1-3 start, the Cornhuskers rallied to win their next two games to get back to .500. But they have dropped their last three games, with the last being a 20-13 loss at home to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
