Young, physical Sacred Heart linebacker with upside
Jackson Hackley is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound freshman linebacker for Sacred Heart in the 2026 season, which gives him the look of a developmental defender with room to add strength and range. His appeal is the classic linebacking pitch: compact frame, downhill potential, and fresh legs in a program that values toughness and effort. He’s still early in his college career, so there isn’t a meaningful statistical track record yet, but if you’re shopping for an under-the-radar fit who could grow into a reliable special-teams-and-depth piece, Hackley is worth a close look.
