Georgia Southern DB Ayden Jackson is a steady, versatile back-end defender with big-play flashes
Ayden Jackson looks like a dependable Georgia Southern defensive back who already has starter-level experience, playing in 11 games with nine starts in 2024 and posting 35 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery, a pass breakup, and a QB hurry after missing the first two games with a hand injury.[6] He followed that with more disruption in 2025, including an interception and active run support, while his listed 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame and strong coverage grades suggest a balanced DB who can tackle, cover, and fit multiple roles in the secondary.[1][3][5]
