During his time as a Panther, the Coraopolis, Pa., native recorded a career 148 total tackles, four interceptions and 39 defended passes in 50 games played. Though Jackson did not record an interception in his 2018 junior season, he still earned an honorable mention for All-ACC honors by forcing four fumbles (tied for ninth-most in the FBS and for the conference lead).
In his senior season, Dane Jackson started in the cornerback position, recording 43 total tackles and an interception which saw him be selected to the All-ACC Second Team in 2019. Though he did only record a single interception, that does not mean he wasn’t a playmaker as his basketball background became a large reason as to why he was so able to break up passes when challenged.
