The school said Jackson was a dominant force on the offensive line for the Bulldogs from 2010 to 2013. Jackson’s decorated career at Mississippi State set the stage for a standout professional career in the NFL that spanned a decade.
MSU Athletics noted that Jackson was a four-year starter at left guard for the Bulldogs, starting all 52 games in his career and was considered the top guard prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft by ESPN.com.
He was a first-team All-American by Bleacher Report, a second-team All-America selection by Walter Camp, USA Today and Athlon Sports, a two-time first-team All-SEC honoree, and capped his career by winning the C Spire Conerly Trophy as the top collegiate player in Mississippi, becoming just the third offensive lineman ever to earn the award.
