The Frogs need him to be impactful.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF HIM IN 2020?

The Frogs need help getting to the quarterback and Jackson can do that. Although he’s got some great athleticism, the staff isn’t putting too much pressure on him to come in and immediately wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines. Jackson hasn’t had to really put his hand on the ground and rush the quarterback since high school so that will be something he’ll have to get used to doing again. He will compete for a starting defensive end spot, but again the staff isn’t going to call it a failure if he doesn’t start and neither should TCU fans; there will be a learning curve for a different style he was playing for the Sooners.
