About Jackson

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Hybrid LB (Chad Greenway, Jack Campbell) with height and versatile frame that can see the field well. I read and react well, close gaps quick, and my wrestling background allows me to bring hips through and make big hits. Spent offseason working on my speed (4.52) and love tracking ball carriers on kickoffs and making big hits! I have great composure, communicate well, and love to grind!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I have a strong drive to succeed and improve, both on and off the field. I am proud to come from a strong Catholic family (farming background), teaching me adversity, work ethic and love for one another. I have an inquisitive, entrepreneurial mindset, and currently employ 5 of my classmates. I am loyal and love teamwork and finding my niche in the group.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I assist being a catechist and working with youth program in our church and FSA high school program. I have volunteered for several years working with youth wrestling club and tackle football program. I am a member of the national honor society and have been awarded honor roll and academic honors throughout my high school career.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I feel I have solid vision and know how to set a clear direction and inspire others to follow. I am responsible and have learned to take accountability for the outcomes of my team or school projects. I can effectively set goals and communicate well with others. Volunteering at my church and working with the younger kids has given me patience, compassion and appreciation for diverse backgrounds.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

My Dad got a new job and our family moved to a new town when I was in 4th grade. It was sad to say goodbye to my friends and family. Moving to a new town pushed me out of my comfort zone, giving me the ability to meet and make new friends quickly and adapt to new situations quickly.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am pursuing a degree in engineering with a minor in computer science. I want to find a program with strong faculty/student relationships, connections ti tech industry and range of available internships. Urban versus rural doesn't matter. For football, I look how the coaches interact with one another and the players. If I am going to give my all to coaches/teammates, I need them to believe in me
