Deion Sanders has added yet another former Power 5 player to his roster at Jackson State.

Ex-Alabama linebacker King Mwikuta recently joined the team, On3 has learned.

Mwikuta, who left the Crimson Tide in January, transferred to Arkansas State earlier this year but re-entered the transfer portal in early August.

Mwikuta, a Class of 2019 four-star recruit, was a special teams contributor for Alabama the last two seasons. He played in 24 games the last two years, including 14 last season.

The Georgia native ranked as the 10th-best EDGE and 150th-best overall player in the 2019 recruiting class according to the On3 Consensus Rankings.
