3 assists vs Texas; 1 solo 1 TFL vs Ohio. Jackson picked up 16 tackles with three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in 2024. Coming into his redshirt junior year, Johnson expects Jackson to take charge of the entire defensive line unit. Too slight and slow to do so at an elite level, though. At 6'6" and 265 pounds, Jackson boasts the rare, prototypical long-limbed frame that NFL front offices covet for traditional five-technique and defensive end roles.
