Jordyn Jackson brings upside, size, and developmental juice to UT Martin’s front
A 6-foot-3, 270-pound redshirt freshman defensive tackle for UT Martin in 2026, Jordyn Jackson is the kind of interior lineman who flashes upside more than box-score fireworks. He played in all 12 games in 2025, mostly on special teams, and logged one tackle, while his high school résumé showed disruptive traits with 74 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, six sacks, and two forced fumbles as a senior. The fit? A raw-but-promising trench piece with length, motor, and room to grow into a bigger role.
