In Jackson’s junior season, he tallied 51 tackles, seven pass breakups, one forced fumble and two interceptions.
“I want to start by thanking my family,” Jackson started his Instagram post. “Without their love and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. To my Crimson Tide brothers – It’s been all love since day one and a blessing to share the locker room and field with y’all. I am honored to wear the crimson jersey #1 and represent the A.”
The former Southern Cal cornerback transferred to Alabama before the 2024 season. He became an immediate starter and started in all 13 games.
Jackson’s most significant play of the season came when he intercepted a pass as South Carolina was trying to steal a win from the Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Jackson’s interception staved off the upset bid.
Jackson is the latest Alabama player to decide to stay with the Crimson Tide for another season instead of declaring for the NFL Draft. LT Overton, Tim Keenan III and Deontae Lawson have also announced they still stay for another season with the Crimson Tide.
The deadline for underclassmen to enter the NFL Draft is Jan. 15.
