Husker Extra is running a series called Heat Index, a quick look at the Huskers before fall camp begins Aug. 3. This week, Steven M. Sipple counted down five veteran players who should be on the verge of their most productive seasons.
We end this week's countdown with the No. 1 player on the list -- a defender with a world of athletic prowess.
Travis Fisher, the new Husker secondary coach, has talked publicly about challenging Jackson to step up his game. NU coaches recently brought in a junior-college transfer, Will Jackson, to perhaps immediately help the defense's depth-challenged corner position, where only three players — Lamar Jackson, Eric Lee and Dicaprio Bootle — have significant experience.
