Jackson
makes
switch
Continued from page 1C
performance.
“I feel I’m doing pretty good
on picking up pretty quick on
the iinebacking position as
far as responsibility,” he
said. “But the big work
comes in the summertime.”
Instead of switching posi
tions out of necessity, howev
er, he is moving around to
provide the defense an edge
by dropping into coverage or
rushing from either spot. By
moving Jackson around,
Smith coaches hope to create
mismatches that can lead to
big plays.
“He’s going to have to do
some standing up,”
Harkness said. “It’s not new,
he did some last year. He’s
just getting a head start on
the spring and getting more
comfortable with it. We’ll
have some defenses that he’ll
be able to stand up and give
us a little more of an impact
from the stand-up position.”
Jackson is light for a defen
sive end, but quick enough to
rush quarterbacks or drop
into coverage as a line
backer. His quarterback
sack on a two-point attempt
sealed Smith’s only win last
season, a 21-19 homecoming
win over Livingstone.
“It’s a little difficult being
an end so long, but I really
just need to do the opposite
of what ends do on some
plays,” Jackson said. “Once I
get the drops, I’ll have it
pretty much down pat.”
Jackson’s value isn’t limit
ed to defense. He’s played
receiver in limited situa
tions, which convinced
Harkness Jackson has the
attributes to succeed wher
ever he lines up. If the
change works, Smith’s
defense stands to benefit.
“He’s a football player,”
Harkness said. “He has a
football mind. We’ve looked
at him at the tight end spot,
some receiver situations.
He’s a football guy. You put
him in a position and just
coach him, and he adapts to
it.”
