Jackson Watson brings a hard-nosed, in-the-box linebacker profile to The Citadel
Jackson Watson is a Charleston native and former First Baptist standout whose college tape points to a physical, instinctive linebacker with real special-teams value; in The Citadel’s 2020 season, he appeared in two games and logged one tackle before injury shortened his year, and his high school résumé was loaded with production, including 342 career tackles, 41 tackles for loss, and 18 sacks. The fit? He looks like a tone-setter who can add toughness, effort, and local-rooted leadership to a roster—less flashy than a stat-sheet star, but exactly the kind of grinder coaches trust.
