Former Miami Hurricanes defensive lineman Demetrius Jackson strove to make as much of an impact off the field as he did while playing during his time at UM.
That desire has continued since completing his eligibility last season after taking a job as defensive line at Booker T. Washington High, his alma mater.
His next step looks to be a switch into state politics.
Jackson announced on his Twitter account Tuesday that he intends to run for public in the 2020 election cycle. Jackson told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that he plans to have his paperwork filed in the next couple months, at which time he said he will announce what office he is running for.
