Marquis Jackson brings proven edge presence and veteran production to Portland State
In the 2012 season, Marquis Jackson arrived at Portland State as a transfer with real disruption traits: he had already posted 111 tackles, 34.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 11 pass breakups and five forced fumbles across two seasons at College of the Canyons, and PSU coach Nigel Burton said Jackson could rush like a defensive end but move like a linebacker[3][11]. He was also drawing preseason All-American and “player to watch” buzz before taking a snap for the Vikings, which tells you the hype matched the athletic profile[3]. If you want a defense-changer with burst, versatility and a track record of finishing plays, he was the kind of addition you’d want.
