Jackson Lang brings size, captaincy, and disruption potential to Tarleton State’s front
Jackson Lang enters Tarleton State in the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 280-pound freshman defensive lineman from Bowie High School, where he was a two-time team captain and earned First Team All-District honors in 2025 after logging 6.5 sacks as a junior in 2024 and multiple field-goal blocks. He looks like a classic downhill trench piece: big, active, and already battle-tested as a multi-sport athlete. The fit is intriguing if Tarleton wants a high-motor interior body who can develop into a disruptive run-stopper and pressure player.
