Scooter Jackson brings veteran nickel-safety versatility to UCLA’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Scooter Jackson was one of UCLA’s most productive defensive backs, finishing with 44 tackles, 2 interceptions, 3 pass breakups, and a forced fumble while starting 8 games at nickel; across his UCLA and Utah Tech career, he has 99 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 12 pass breakups. He stands out for his downhill tackling, ball production, and experience as a multi-year starter, and reports in 2026 describe him as one of the Bruins’ most dependable defenders. If your team wants a physical, experienced DB who can handle nickel duties and make plays near the ball, he fits the bill nicely.
