Itawamba Community College head football coach Jon Williams announced at a Wednesday afternoon press conference at the Davis Event Center that 42 high school players from all across the state of Mississippi signed with the Indians on National Signing Day.
"Jason is a great person that is going to add a lot to our staff, our institution and our community" said Williams. "He has a wealth of experience with a majority of it coming at the Division 1 level and I think it's good for our players to have a coach that will be able to give them a lot of guidance along the way."
"We're excited to have a player like Asian as a part of our program here at ICC," said Williams. "He is a local guy that is coming to us extremely motivated and hopefully that along with his work ethic that he picked up at Mississippi State will rub off on the rest of guys on the team."
Ryan Thompson (Pontotoc) signed with Indiana University, Wes Saxton (Hueytown, AL) with the University of South Alabama and Martrez Townes (Southaven) with Troy University.
