Early signing day is here, and Jackson State football is looking to build on last year's recruiting success under Deion Sanders.

The Tigers had the highest-ranked recruiting class in FCS last year, the highest-rated recruiting class in HBCU football history, and the No. 55 overall class in the nation.

This year Jackson State enters signing day with four commitments. But, much can change over the course of the day, especially when you're talking about a recruiter the caliber of Sanders.

As the Tigers try to top last year's historic class, here's what to expect from each new signee next year.

Editor's note: This story will be updated as signees become official

CB Travis Hunter (6-1, 165)

Collins Hill High School (Suwanee, Georgia)

247Sports Composite: Five-star, No. 1 CB

What to expect: The nation's No. 1 overall college football prospect for the Class of 2022 should come in and have an immediate impact for the Tigers. He's been described as a generational talent and compared to nine-time Pro Bowler Charles Woodson. And he'll be soaking up knowledge from one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play in Deion Sanders.

WR Camron Buckley (6-2, 198)

Indiana (Transfer)

247Sports Composite: 3-star, No. 55 WR

What to expect: Buckley missed the 2020 season recovering from a torn ACL. He's spending his final year of eligibility at Jackson State, which means he should be healthy enough to contribute. When healthy, Buckley showed he can produce at a Power-5 level, as he caught 62 passes for 877 yards in 39 games at Texas A&M.
