Jackson Dillon brings veteran linebacker steadiness and real tackling production to Memphis
Jackson Dillon is a sixth-year senior linebacker whose value goes beyond raw counting stats: he has been a durable, experienced piece for Memphis and has shown the kind of physical, assignment-sound play coaches trust in the middle of a defense. His track record includes disruptive work in earlier seasons, with 98 solo tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles listed by ESPN, and Memphis has highlighted him as part of a defense that ranked 11th nationally in scoring defense in 2018.[6][3] If your team wants a mature, high-effort defender with proven production and leadership upside, Dillon fits that profile.[1][3]
