I am sure glad they red-shirted him in 2014. That means he and Ojemudia will have 2 seasons together as the CBs after Dez and Mabin graduate.

Hopefully, they can turn into "teachers" as well, as there is an enormous crop of DBs in the current freshman class and the one coming in next year.

Jackson seems to make a big play or two every time we see him even when he was wearing a red jersey in spring ball after coming back from off-season surgery.

Here he is with an INT on Beathard, probably would have been a pick six.
