}}The Jackson State Tigers are the college football team representing the Jackson State University. The Tigers play in NCAA Division I Football Championship as a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. History The Jackson State Tigers football program is one of the most storied in the nation among HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Shortly after becoming the school’s first African American president, Dr. Zachary T. Hubert began to develop Jackson College’s athletics program. The football team was first organized in 1911 by Coach John Pinkett. Jubie Bragg served as the team's second coach from 1913 to 1915. Other coaches who helped to shape the program in its early days include Earnest Richards, Belford Lawson Jr., Charles Clark, John H Young. Following World War II, T.B. Ellis became coach and athletics director at Jackson College. Ellis only served as football coach from 1946-1951, but his impact on JSU's overall athletics program and institution is far-reaching. John Merritt was named head coach in 1952, ushering in the era that would elevate Jackson College into a championship program. After joining the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in 1958, the program exploded into national prominence. Since 1958, Jackson State has won 26% of the conference’s football championships (16) and is a perennial powerhouse program among HBCUs. The Tigers have produced 93 pro football players and 4 NFL Hall of Famers - Only 13 college football teams (at any level) have produced more NFL Hall of Famers than JSU.

Rivalries {{unreferenced section|date=December 2018}}During the early years of Jackson State’s football history, rivalries were established with in-State foes like Rust College and Tougaloo. Stillman College of Alabama was also a common opponent which brought excitement to games played at the Mississippi Fairgrounds and later at Alumni Field on the campus of Jackson State. Since then, JSU has formed several traditional rivalries with long-time foes. "The Soul Bowl"The Soul Bowl is an American college football rivalry between Jackson State and Alcorn State. Mississippi's two largest historically black colleges and universities have played over 80 times in the game dating back to the late 1920s. The game has carried the unofficial moniker "the Soul Bowl" since the late 1970s. has JSU holds a 45-36-2 lead in the series which has included some of the greatest names in college football. From 1993-2011, the game was dubbed the "Capital City Classic" and held in Jackson annually. "The BoomBox Classic"Jackson State's annual meeting with rival Southern University, is informally called the "BoomBox Classic" - a portmanteau of the two schools' marching bands (Jackson State's "Sonic Boom of the South" and Southern's "Human Jukebox"). The heated contest between the teams is matched only by the battle between the celebrated marching bands. Southern holds a 33-29 lead in the series. The Southern Heritage ClassicJackson State's series with Tennessee State dates back more than 70 years. Most recently, the rivalry matchup has been held annually in Memphis, Tennessee and is officially named the Southern Heritage Classic. College Football Hall of Fame members - Kevin Dent

Facilities Jackson State University owns and operates Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. The 60,492-seat venue has been the home field of Jackson State Football since 1970. Tiger Fans Jackson State's fanbase takes much pride in its football program. The Tigers' faithful following has crushed FCS (formerly NCAA I-AA) records repeatedly and helped make the program a major draw for neutral-site contests. JSU's average home attendance reached its peak in 1997 when the Tigers outdrew (38,873 fans per game) both of Mississippi's SEC teams (MSU 32,371, Ole Miss 34,799). JSU has averaged 24,000+ fans at home games from 1970-2018.
