A Deion Sanders mural at Jackson State University was defaced — however not by the scholar seen in a viral video circulating on-line … TMZ Sports has discovered.
A rep for JSU tells us the mural depicting Coach Prime in a Jackson State hoodie and hat was just lately messed with, although it is unclear when it precisely occurred — and the wrongdoer stays unknown.
The faculty rep says the scholar seen wiping Deion’s mural, which initially went up for soccer season/Homecoming round October, was attempting to scrub it up … and acquired permission from the college to take action.

We’re instructed it is unclear if police are investigating the mural’s preliminary defacement.
The video of the scholar wiping the Sanders tribute made rounds on social media this week … within the aftermath of the coach saying over the weekend that he was leaving JSU for Colorado.
Sanders spent three seasons with the Tigers, going 27-5. The response to his departure to Boulder was polarizing, with some praising him for transferring up within the teaching world — whereas others criticized him for leaving a program he had helped flip right into a powerhouse.
