Jackson State football is preparing to rebound this week after a loss to Grambling State. The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 SWAC) are set to challenge Florida A&M (3-4, 2-1) at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee on November 1. Following their recent defeat, the stakes are high for Jackson State, as a loss could see them fall from first to fourth place in the SWAC East division.
Game Details: Jackson State vs. Florida A&M
This matchup is particularly notable as Jackson State is facing quarterback uncertainty. JaCobian Morgan, who suffered an injury against Grambling State, is ruled out for this game. He was seen using crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot during pregame warm-ups. This opens the door for either redshirt freshman Parker Stofa or true freshman Jared Lockhart to take the starting position.

Jackson State’s Recent Performance
Despite the challenges, Jackson State has had a solid season so far, accumulating five wins against two losses. Their record stands at 3-1 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). In their last game, they narrowly lost to Grambling State with a score of 26-24, which highlighted some weaknesses to address.
Injury Updates
As noted, there have been no recent updates on Morgan’s injury since October 27. Coach T.C. Taylor had indicated that Morgan had not yet consulted a physician. The team will look to its remaining quarterbacks to step up against a Florida A&M squad that has recently found its form with a two-game winning streak.
