Tennessee State made headlines last season for becoming the first HBCU to win an FCS playoff game this century. A big part of the reason why was the team’s success in the state of Florida.
It looks like TSU head coach Rod Reed and his staff are sticking with what works for them, as five members of their latest recruiting class hails from the Sunshine State. That includes transfers like running back Tom Smith (Tennessee) and quarterback Oshay Carter (Georgia Prep Sports.) Reed also added five players from Georgia.
