Naeer Jackson brings proven power and pass-protection stability to Louisville’s front
Jackson is a **big, experienced interior lineman** who should matter to Louisville because he has already logged **24 career starts** and was part of an FIU line that cut sacks allowed from **46 in 2023 to 17 in 2024**. His best calling card is **reliability in pass protection**—he reportedly allowed **zero sacks in 2024** after giving up six in 2023—and his frame plus strength make him a road-grading fit for power concepts. The differentiator: he’s a nasty, battle-tested transfer with legit size and versatility across guard spots, not just a warm-body depth add.[3][9][13]
