Jackson and his two former high school teammates were killed in a car crash in their home state.
Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson was one of three people killed following a horrific car crash in his home state of Maryland. In the early Saturday morning hours in Prince George’s County, the 24-year-old Jackson and his former high school teammates Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr. were riding in a Dodge Charger when they were hit by an Infiniti Q50 driven by Cori Clingman.
Jackson was selected early in the fourth round by the Minnesota Vikings and was well on course to be one of their exciting new corners under second-year defensive coordinator Brian Flores. While Jackson played two years at Alabama, he made a major name for himself as an All-Pac 12 standout at the University of Oregon. There have been many tributes and condolences within the football community, including from the Seattle Seahawks. Jackson’s road to the NFL involved incredible perseverance.
