Early years

Jackson attended Wayne County High School in Jesup, Georgia, where he was a two-sport star in both track and football, where he was a two-way lineman. Jackson missed his entire junior season with an ACL tear. In his senior year, Jackson helped protect quarterback Greyson Lambert, as the Yellow Jackets went 5–5 on the season. Jackson was also one of the state's top performers in the shot put (top-throw of 57 ft 8+1⁄2 in or 17.59 m). [1]

Having missed his junior season, Jackson drew little attention as he entered his final year of high school. Recruiting services largely overlooked him, as he had three-star ratings from Rivals.com, [2] Scout.com, [3] and ESPN . [4] Jackson originally committed to Georgia Tech in October 2010, but changed his mind after getting offers from Miami (FL) and Florida State late in the season. After Jackson agreed to an official visit to Florida State, Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson rescinded his scholarship offer. [5] In February 2011, Jackson finally committed to Florida State. [6]

College career

In his first year at Florida State, Jackson was expected to redshirt, especially after a groin injury caused him to miss the first five games of the season. But injuries to several Seminoles offensive linemen eventually moved him into the rotation, primarily on special teams but also at guard. His college debut came in a 41–16 win over Duke on October 15, registering eight snaps. After playing sparingly the rest of the season, he played all 62 snaps in the 18–14 Champs Sports Bowl win over Notre Dame. Jackson played well enough in the bowl game that head coach Jimbo Fisher penciled him in as a starting right guard. [7] He eventually started all 14 games as a sophomore and earned the second-highest season grade among Seminoles offensive linemen, second only to Bryan Stork. Jackson's 22 knockdown blocks rank third on the team.

In his junior season, started another 14 games at right guard, including the 2014 BCS National Championship Game. The Seminoles finished the season 14–0 while setting school and conference season records for total offense (7,267 yards), points per game (51.6) and yards per play (7.67), and the national record for points (723), as freshman quarterback Jameis Winston became the youngest player ever to win the Heisman Trophy. [8] Jackson was named a first team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection. [9] [10] Forgoing a chance to enter the 2014 NFL draft, Jackson returned his senior season and started all 14 games. He was again named a first team All-ACC, [11] [12] and was also a consensus All-American, [13] the school's first since Rodney Hudson in 2010.

[19] On February 5, 2017, Jackson's Patriots won Super Bowl LI. In the game, the Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34–28 in overtime. [20] [21]
