I don't think he was in scholly could be wrong thoughLet me make sure I understand. Dude walks on - never played organized football in his life. He was in the Navy. Gets a scholarship and spends 3 years in the program... does absolutely nothing - contributes zero. Enters the portal with the expectation of getting the opportunity to play?
Good luck.
And he was probably still better than guys like Levi Falck etc. who saw the field. Good luck to him, he's a boss. He can easily go FCS and make an impact.Let me make sure I understand.

Well he likely won't be going to a P5 school on scholarship. More likely he has his mind set on contributing at a small program with his final year. I'd guess, he just wants to get on the field at whatever school wants him.Let me make sure I understand. Dude walks on - never played organized football in his life. He was in the Navy.

I’m guessing he wants to go to a small school so he can play. Strange decision for someone his age though. Would think seeing his time at NU through till the end would be a more valuable experience than going to somewhere new to meet a bunch of new 20 year olds.Let me make sure I understand.

He was a great guy to have off the field, especially in the weight room."Contributes zero"
I dont think that is a fair statement of his time here
They still have tomorrow, but agree, figured there would be a few moreNot related to Jackson himself BUT we're almost at the deadline for players declare for the portal and still be eligible to play somewhere this season. Kind of surprised we haven't seen more names yet. Surely the coaches have had their talks by now with the players they wanted to encourage to leave.
I see it as a sacrifice to help the team free up a scholly. I think his impact in the program has been huge, showing younger guys not only how to do things, but what is achievable if you put your mind to it. Great Husker!
Thats what I had hoped for. But I wonder if he was encouraged to leave. Something changed. New coaches? His presence was valuable.....I dont agree he "contributed zero."I could see Nebraska immediately hiring him as an assistant strength and conditioning coach as soon as the academic semester ends…mark it down.
I think he graduated in December. So maybe he is thinking of grad school....and the benefits of having it paid. Can't blame him...even if he is an older student-athlete.Maybe they’re looking for some place they can get playing time before they move on to real jobs. Or maybe they are looking for some place that fit their academic ambitions. Good luck either way.
Good for him. Hope he gets more playing time.. Buffalo (the city) sucks !FYI, Damian has found a new home with the Buffalo Bulls.
He's about 30, right? Have fun with it I guess, playing the game for pay is not in his future.
Probably has done more by 30 than most people by 60. The guy put his ass on the line in more ways than one, he can do whatever the hell he wantsIt’s his life. He has earned to do with it as he pleases.

Strongly disagree. Losing programs need great leadership. That's the number one thing Jackson contributed. Jackson led by example and NU was all the better for it. He showed up on time every day and worked as hard as anyone. The only thing Jackson could not do is back it up on the field. He simply wasn't a P5 caliber athlete. But for not having the athletic ability, he sure did a hell of a job to get as much playing time as he did get.Gets a scholarship and spends 3 years in the program... does absolutely nothing - contributes zero.
What was our record each year that he was on the team?Jackson led by example and NU was all the better for it.
Not good, but I don't think player leadership, especially on defense, was the problem.What was our record each year that he was on the team?
