The 2021 Jacksonville State Gamecocks football team represented Jacksonville State University in the 2021 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by eighth-year head coach John Grass and played their home games at Burgess–Snow Field at JSU Stadium in Jacksonville, Alabama. The Gamecocks competed in the AQ7, a football partnership between the WAC and the ASUN Conference, until the ASUN begins play as a football conference.[1]

Previous season[]

The Gamecocks finished the 2020–21 season 10–3, 6–1 in OVC play to win the Ohio Valley Conference championship. The Gamecocks defeated Davidson in the first round of the FCS playoffs before losing to Delaware in the quarterfinals.

The 2020–21 season was JSU's last in the OVC. On January 29, 2021, the ASUN announced that JSU was one of three schools that would join the conference on July 1 of that year.[2] This marked JSU's return to the conference where it was previously a member from 1995 to 2003.
