Editor's Note: LSU wrestling All-American Kevin Jackson is a member of the 2019 LSU Athletics Hall of Fame induction class and will be formally enshrined on Friday, October 11, at the Louisiana State Museum in downtown Baton Rouge. The other inductees are Walter Davis (men's track & field), Ashlee Ducote (softball), Meredith Duncan (women's golf), Susan Jackson (gymnastics), Bradie James (football) and Jason Williams (baseball).
Kevin Jackson's catch phrase is "be in it to win it." Throughout his wrestling and coaching career, he has been able to do just that.
"Kevin Jackson was one of the greatest wrestlers our nation has ever produced," said USA Wrestling National Freestyle Coach William Zadick in his letter of recommendation for Jackson, who will be inducted into the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday night.
