The Leadership Strategy of Coach Prime: Exploring the Unique Team Dynamics at Jackson State

Do you know the reason why Travis Hunter has the letter D on his Jersey and Shadore Sanders has an L? See, Coach Prime doesn’t believe in having captains on his football team. Instead, he selects a few of his best players to be either a leader or a dog, and he’s been doing this ever since Jackson State. Now, Deion’s logic for this is simple. Every leader isn’t a dog, and every dog isn’t a leader. Last season, Deion’s son Shadore had the leader patch, but his other son, Shiloh, didn’t. But this year, both of them have it. And yesterday in the season opener against North Dakota State, both of them played great. She’dora, quarterback, had nearly 450 yards and four touchdowns, and Shiloh had nine tackles at safety. Now, Dion has given the dog title to Travis Hunter, and there’s not a player in college football more deserving of it than him. Playing both wide receiver in corner yesterday, he only missed two snaps the entire game and he burned 45 hundred calories. He finished the game with 132 yards, three touchdowns. And I don’t care if Colorado is a losing team this year, Travis Hunter should be the Heisman. Now, if you were also wondering why Dion wears a JC patch every game, he wears that in memory of his old equipment manager from Florida State, Jimmy Calloway, who passed away a few years ago.
