The Clarion Ledger's reporter, Khari Thompson, told Jeff Lightsy that head coach Deion Sanders may have influenced the nation's top recruit, Travis Hunter, may consider signing with Jackson State over Florida State.

Lightsy said Hunter was "on the sidelines at a Jackson State game" this fall.

Sports Illustrated's John Garcia, Jr. lists Hunter No.1 on his board and has the wide receiver committing to the Seminoles.    The Collins Hill product is an outstanding young talent.

Should Hunter flip his commitment to Jackson State, it would be a major coup for Deion Sanders.
