Freshman LB with Elite Intensity and 6-2 Frame for Gardner-Webb
Jay Jackson, a 6-2, 210-pound freshman linebacker from North Stanley HS, stands out not for stats (as he hasn't played a full season yet) but for his relentless intensity, rare physical maturity, and a personality that elevates every practice. While Gardner-Webb struggled in 2025 (e.g., 59-12 loss to Georgia Tech), Jackson is a differentiator: his 6-2 frame and 210-pound weight give him ideal size for the LB role, and his Albemarle, N.C. roots reflect a grounded, team-first mindset. No injury history is reported, and his intensity level is described as 'elite' by coaches. For teams seeking a high-energy, physically ready LB with a winning attitude, Jackson is a perfect fit—especially as he enters the 2026 season with fresh potential and no baggage.
