Jackson established himself as one of the best defensive backs in the Pac-12 as a freshman last season with 10 pass breakups, and was one of the nation’s top kickoff returners as well, with an average of 29.7 yards per return.For now, he has more mastery of football than the long jump, at least when it comes to Olympic standards.

He placed fifth in the NCAA Championships in June with a jump of 25 feet, 11 inches, and Sarkisian suggested he’ll need to improve by more than a foot to make a legitimate run at the Olympics.
