Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders is finalizing a deal with Jackson State University to become the school's next head coach, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
Reports of Sanders' hire come after a school spokesperson had previously said that Sanders was not a candidate for the school's head coaching position. Per Sports Illustrated, Sanders and the school still have a number of contractual details to smooth out.
HBCU Sports' Kenn Rashad, who first reported news of Sanders' hire, said that a press conference is scheduled for Monday morning.
