Liberty’s veteran linebacker who became an instant defensive wrecking ball
In the 2021 season, Storey Jackson made an immediate impact for Liberty, leading the Flames with 102 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 1 interception in 13 games, and multiple reports called him the defense’s leader and MVP. He brings proven production, backfield disruption, and strong run-game instincts, plus the kind of transfer experience and edge that can steady a unit fast. The catch: he needed time early to learn Liberty’s system, so the fit works best for a team valuing mature, high-motor linebacker play over raw upside.
