When Jefferson, Texas, wide receiver T.Q. Jackson committed to the University of Arkansas during the summer of 2018, his high school coach, Antwain Jimmerson, was certain the Razorbacks would be getting a player whose work ethic, drive and football IQ would be rivaled by few.
According to Jackson, those qualities weren’t always a part of his make-up.
“Actually, when I was growing up, I wasn’t really even into sports,” Jackson said. “I really was just playing sports just to be playing them. Working at specific skills and things like that, that didn’t really interest me.
