Shaun Jackson brings veteran edge and immediate disruption to Baylor’s front
In the 2024 season at Fresno State, Shaun Jackson posted 49 tackles, 4 sacks, and 4 pass breakups, and he arrived at Baylor with a reputation as one of ESPN’s most underrated players. He flashed that same punch early in his Baylor debut, earning a start after six tackles against Auburn and adding a pressure versus SMU, which tells you the motor, versatility, and play-recognition are real. The big caveat: a 2025 injury has put his availability in doubt, so the fit is best for a team that values toughness, proven production, and a high-floor defender who can make an impact when healthy.
