Jackson Cloyd brings veteran edge and backfield disruption to UC Davis
In the 2024 season, UC Davis linebacker Jackson Cloyd showed his value as a senior defender with 14 tackles and 3 tackles for loss in nine games, and he capped the year with a Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week performance after posting 5 tackles, 3 TFLs, and 2 sacks at Montana[3][15]. He’s a sturdy, physical LB at 6-foot-2, 245 pounds who plays with noticeable aggression, can create negative plays, and brings real experience in the Aggies’ system[3][7][13]. If you want a linebacker who brings tone, toughness, and chase-down energy rather than flash, Cloyd is your guy[3][13].
