steady, high-motor Georgia Tech linebacker who built his value on production and reliability
Jackson was a four-year Georgia Tech linebacker who developed into a dependable, every-down defender, finishing his career with 247 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, 2 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions. He stood out less as a flashy playmaker and more as a tough, consistent tone-setter with good instincts, strong effort and the versatility to affect the run game and coverage. He was rated a three-star recruit and ranked among the nation’s top inside linebackers coming out of high school, which fits the profile of a plug-and-play, culture-building defender.
