Jackson State University Tigers will be celebrated with City of Jackson parade​


The City of Jackson will host a parade honoring the Jackson State University Tigers football team for their awe-inspiring victory in Atlanta, where they defeated South Carolina State 28-7 to win their first Celebration Bowl. The parade, organized in partnership with JSU, kicks off tentatively at 3 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2025.

The event will feature appearances by Head Coach T.C. Taylor and the national championship-winning Tigers. Taylor is a former JSU quarterback and receiver who set records during his matriculation at the HBCU. The Pike County native wins the Celebration Bowl in his second year at the helm, solidifying himself as the first Jackson State coach to snag the history-making title in Atlanta.

“This national championship is for the City of Jackson and won by a Mississippi-grown Jackson State alum. I can’t think of a better way to honor the accomplishments of this team than with a parade in our city. I want to thank the City of Jackson for spearheading this campaign to honor our football program, and I can’t wait until January 17,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson.

The Tigers’ Celebration Bowl victory reflects the heart, hustle and unmatched excellence of JSU. A parade offers every fan—whether they cheered from the stands, streamed the games or proudly repped the blue and white—a chance to come together and relish the moment.

Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba shared that the parade is his response to numerous requests from supporters eager to celebrate the monumental achievement of the JSU Tigers Football Team, whose historic success continues to capture widespread media attention.

“I am extremely proud of our JSU Tigers. “Their win is the culmination of a season-long commitment and dedication to one another. It is also rooted in the leadership of Head Coach T.C. Taylor and staff, and we look forward to continued excellence. The parade is just one way the City of Jackson can show its appreciation to these scholar athletes, coaches and staff,” said Lumumba.
