Jackson is a 6-0, 222, redshirt Senior LB from Seattle, WA. Talk about a non-traditional career. Jackson, a former walk-on, started 12 of 13 games his redshirt Freshman year and had 58 tackles, 5 TFL, and 1.5 sacks along with 3 pass break-ups. As a Sophomore he played in every game, but never started and only had 9 tackles on the year. Last year he played in just one game, at Washington State, when we traveled to his home state.
In Coach Rod's first year, we were painfully undermanned at linebacker. Sir T was a redshirt, walk-on, linebacker who surprised everyone by earning the starting role. We went to a bowl game and had 8 wins that year in large part due to Sir T's ability to fill that position of need. So, now that he is a Senior reserve linebacker and special teams player, please don't forgot that Sir T was one of the key players who helped get the Coach Rod era going.
53 is also the number of rushing yards our #2 QB, Jesse Scroggins, had last year. I predict Jerrard Randall will have more yards than that by the time we finish the out of conference schedule.
