JCSU Golden Bulls use bowl win on recruiting trail

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - Two weeks after winning the Pioneer Bowl, Johnson C. Smith football coach Steve Aycock is using the Golden Bulls’ postseason success in his recruiting pitch.

JCSU, which posted a winning season for the first time since 2006, capped the campaign with a 35-33 upset of SIAC champion Miles (Ala.) in the Pioneer Bowl – the first postseason win in school history. It’s a marketing tool that no Golden Bulls coach has been able to use.

“From a team aspect, it helps,” Aycock said. “We’re excited about the guys we have on our (recruiting) board and that’s been one of the selling points. The Pioneer Bowl win, how much better we’ve gotten statistically, it all helps.”
