Jaion Jackson is a steady, playmaking MAC corner with real starting experience
Jaion Jackson gives Central Michigan a proven, physical DB presence: in the 2025 season he posted 38 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, 1 interception, and 1 pass breakup, following a 2024 season in which he earned Third Team All-MAC recognition after starting as a true freshman. His value is versatility and reliability — he has already logged 22 career starts and 86 tackles in 25 games, which says coach-trust as much as production. At 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, he’s built more like a quick, urgent nickel/corner than a press-only bruiser, so he fits best in a scheme that rewards instincts, competitiveness, and tackling willingness.
