The Jackson State Tigers have won their first Celebration Bowl in program history and are now HBCU National Champions. The Tigers beat South Carolina State 28-7. The game was a rematch of the 2021 bowl game, Jackson State's 21-point victory was the same point total they lost by to the Bulldogs three years ago (31-10).
The SWAC champions seemed to be in control throughout the contest. Even after a scoreless first quarter due to unnecessary roughness penalty that took away Jackson State's punt return touchdown, the Tigers (12-2) scored 14 points in both the second and fourth quarter. Quarterback Jacobian Morgan threw for 233 yards and two passing touchdowns — both to wide receiver Joanes Fortilien.
Jackson State out-rushed South Carolina State 153-30, putting together 383 total yards of offense to the Bulldogs' 211.
