Deion Sanders is pretty adamant that Jackson State is not done rising up the recruiting rankings.

The Hall of Famer tweeted Thursday that there’s not one, but two more recruits out there he thinks will sign with the Tigers this cycle.

“I think it’s 2 more Dogs out there that wants to join the (Jackson State) family on or before signing day. We ain’t done shaking up the country. There’s a new normal. It’s 2 more difference makers out there & please know ‘I AIN’T HARD TO FIND,'” Sanders tweeted.

Sanders has already made the two biggest splashes of recruiting cycle by landing Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill Five-Star Plus+ athlete Travis Hunter and St. Louis (Mo.) St. Mary’s four-star wide receiver Kevin Coleman.

Hunter is the No. 1 overall recruit in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

His flip from Florida State during the early signing period will go down as one of — if not, the — most shocking flip in National Signing Day history.

Coleman — the No. 71 overall prospect and No. 8 wide receiver in the On3 Consensus — committed to the Tigers during the All-American Bowl on NBC. The decision was once again a shocker, as the Tigers were not connected to him leading up to the announcement.

The Tigers aren’t just succeeding on the recruiting trail, either. They are also doing really well in the transfer portal.

Jackson State has signed 11 transfers in this offseason, including three former four-star high school recruits in wide receiver Mark Pope from Miami, linebacker Antonio Doyle from Texas A&M and wide receiver Keveon Mullins from South Carolina.

As for who the two Sanders referred to in his tweet, that remains a mystery.

Sanders did offer one of the top unsigned prospects — Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington four-star cornerback and Oklahoma commit Gentry Williams — a few weeks back.

But, if the last month-plus have proved anything, it’s that Sanders is possible of pulling of what seems impossible.
