Jackson, a 6-foot-3, 200 pound safety from Clinton, La., played in 17 games for the Tigers over his two seasons in Baton Rouge. All of his action came in a reserve role, where he recorded five total tackles. Because he played in five games as a freshman, Jackson will only have two years of eligibility remaining at his new destination.
The LSU safety room could be headed for a near complete overhaul. Senior Major Burns is out of eligibility while Sage Ryan and Jardin Gilbert could opt to return for a fifth season. Freshman Dashawn Spears played in 12 games with three starts and could be in line for a larger role in 2025.
The Tigers will likely be looking for immediate impact help in the transfer portal.
