decades at NCCU as an educator and
coach. *
A decorated WWII soldier, Jackson
earned a BS degree in physical educa

after he completed his service to his
country. In 1950, he became the first
African-American from a historically
black college drafted to play in the
NFL when he was selected by the New
York Giants.
A high school coach once told
Jackson that trying to tackle him was
like trying to bring down a "stonewall."
Jackson lived up to his nickname in the
NFL. As a rookie fullback, he rushed
for 1 1 3 yards and two touchdowns on
12 carries for an average of 9.4 yards

athletic training and equipment man
agement, Jackson served as the athletic
trainer for many years. In 1977,
Jackson even served as head football
coach for two games.
He was inducted into the NCCU
Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997. two
years before his retirement. In October
2009, as part of the university's 100th
anniversary celebration, Jackson was
honored among the Centennial 100
Sports Legends as one of the top 10
coaches in NCCU history.
Jackson passed away on March 14,
2010 in Raleigh. He was 88-years-old.

Golf Classic, as do other NCCU alum
