Jackson State, Florida A&M, and Tennessee State are all building strengths, JSU turns a weakness into a strength while Florida A&M and Tennessee State are building on top of a strength. Jackson State brought in Sy’veon Wilkerson, 1st Team All MEAC player from Delaware State, FAMU added to the coaching staff, and Tenn St. added a player from Georgia Tech and Austin Peay State.

Jackson State said they wanted to improve the running game this offseason. Rather than that being lip service, it was an initiative they committed to by bringing in Sy’veon Wilkerson and Willis Patrick. Sy’veon Wilkerson was a freshman stud at Delaware State and even a first team all MEAC player. Patrick was voted Offensive Lineman of the year in the conference while playing at Angelo State. This should be a good pair to jumpstart the running attack of JSU.

Florida A&M is building on top of a strength which was running the football. Bishop Bonnett was one of the best running backs in the SWAC last year. He ranked high in total yards and at the top of yards per carry. His running mate Terrell Jennings was also high in that category. The Rattlers just brought 2 coaches in to help continue the success. Joseph Henry returns to FAMU after time at LSU, Arkansas, and Missouri. Marcus Windham led a dynamic duo at Delta State.

Tennessee State built on 2 strengths, running back and defensive line. Devin Starling had a good freshman season. Eddie George won’t abandon the run and he brought in Tony Amerson from Georgia Tech. He shouldn’t threaten Starling’s job but will be a good compliment. The Tigers also scored another Austin Peay transfer, Terrell Allen. Terrell Allen will pair with Tadarrius Patterson to give Tennessee State the 2nd and 3rd leading sack artists in the OVC.
