Former UCLA DL Datona Jackson brings a relentless pass-rush motor
Datona Jackson’s appeal is his blend of size, effort, and late-game production: UCLA listed him at 6-3, 275, and he was a full-time front-line defender in 2021 before continuing his career in the IFL, where his coach called him a “hardworking, intelligent, relentless pass rusher.” He finished strong for Bay Area in the 2024 championship run with playoff sacks in both the conference title game and national championship, suggesting he can elevate his play when the stakes rise. He looks like a fit for teams valuing toughness, urgency, and disruptive effort off the edge or inside.
