Jackson State Tigers‘ latest addition, Nate “Train” Blount IV, is a name that’s rapidly gaining traction post National Signing Day. Hailing from Brandon, Mississippi, this 3-star running back imposed his will on opponents with his powerful running style, reminiscent of the NFL’s own LeGarrette Blount.

Nate Blount’s high school football achievements are nothing short of impressive, tallying a remarkable 3,619 yards and 39 touchdowns after earning the starting position during his junior year. His gameplay, much like LeGarrette Blount’s, is marked by a running style based on brute power and subtle footwork. This parallel in their approach to the game is striking, going beyond the shared Blount surname.

Despite joining a team with an already talented running back room, including the likes of Irv Mulligan, Desmond Moultrie, Ahmad Miler, and JD Martin, Nate has the potential to carve out a unique role for himself. His ability to bulldoze through defenses could make him a go-to option in goal-line situations.

Blount’s commitment to Jackson State is more than just a new recruit signing; it’s a statement of intent. His style of play is reflective of the type of team coach TC Taylor and the JSU Tigers hope to be this season.
