Jackson's agent, a former high school coach, broke the news today that Jackson tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Jackson was an up and coming prospect in the Vikings' organization who had his fair share of struggles growing up. He used to work in a deli at a grocery store to help make ends meet for his family. He managed to focus on football and work his way out of that life and into NFL stardom. This tragic news is absolutely heartbreaking to everyone in the sports world today.
In his 2023 College year, Jackson recorded 34 total tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and seven passes defensed. He was named First Team All-Pac 12. Jackson had so much potential to be a great NFL player, but sadly, he lost his life way too soon. Condolences go out to his entire family.
