dependable Tulane edge rusher with proven backfield production
In the 2012 season, Austen Jacks was a rugged, high-motor DE for Tulane who led the team with 10.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks, finishing his career with 161 tackles, 25.0 TFL, and 12.0 sacks across 47 games.[1] What makes him pop is the combination of steady production, run-game discipline, and a knack for impact plays — including a fumble-return touchdown and four forced fumbles — plus the fact that he held up as a four-year letterman and 38-game starter.[1] He looks like the kind of edge defender coaches trust for effort, toughness, and functional pass-rush value.[1]
