The highly touted freshman cornerback out of Mater Dei High has been limited by injuries but is making an impression ahead of Monday’s game against Tulane
ARLINGTON, Texas — One of the benefits of bowl season for a college football program is the opportunity for younger players to get extra practices. The hope is that experience, as well as earning some playing time in the bowl game, propels the player forward with confidence into the next season.
After suffering a knee injury in his senior season of high school, Jackson was limited for much of fall camp. He was able to get onto the field in Week 4, recording two tackles. He played in the next two games, breaking up one pass, before a new injury kept him out for over a month. “He goes out there every single day and takes advantage of every single rep that he gets and just a smart kid,” safety Calen Bullock said.
A healthy and productive Jackson would be a major benefit to USC during the 2023 season. The Trojans will lose top corner Mekhi Blackmon to graduation. The rest of USC’s cornerbacks this season have had middling results as the Trojans ranked 114th nationally in passing yards allowed per game .
