It’s nearly college football award season, while means Adoree’ Jackson can expect to hear his name thrown out more than a few times for some of the top trophies in the NCAA.
Monday, Jackson made the cut as a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, moving one step closer to become just the second Trojan win that honor.
Jackson has arguably been USC’s most valuable defender in 2016, putting in All-American type performances throughout the season.
The junior shut down Alabama’s Calvin Ridley despite the overall troubles for the Trojans on opening weekend. He continued his strong run of play with an interception against Stanford and an even more spectacular grab on the sideline in USC’s win over Colorado.
