Roderick Jackson is a low-profile, high-effort linebacker with old-school grit
Roderick Jackson, a junior linebacker for Murray State, is listed at 5-9 and 201 pounds and built his reputation the hard way: he played in eight games as a true freshman and finished with seven tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss in the 2006 season. His value is all about toughness, leverage, and consistency rather than flash, which makes him the kind of defender coaches usually love in the room. He looks like a fit for a team that wants a scrappy, assignment-sound LB who brings energy and doesn’t need the spotlight.
