Jackson was a three-year starter at free safety and was the captain of one of the most successful football teams in Wildcat history. Known as a ferocious hitter, this free safety earned All-SIAC honors in 1973, when he led the team with four interceptions. In 1974, he followed it up with another superb season and was named to the Pittsburgh Courier All-American Team. Jackson was a consensus choice of the coaches of his era as one of the greatest leaders to have ever captained a Bethune-Cookman football team.
